DFW International Airport starts first major construction phase in $1.9 billion renovation

The US airport, sited halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth in Texas, said a seven-year renovation of its four original terminals commenced on Wednesday in Terminal A, where Gates A9 through to A11 and one of the three parking garages in Terminal A will be renewed by 2014.

Improvements being made in the TRIP project include renovations of Terminals A, B, C and E; improvements for passenger services such as ticketing, security and concessions; and the replacement of terminal systems including electrical, plumbing and ventilation. The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.
