The USD$344.5 million (CAD$407 million) construction project will include a new addition to the existing terminal building, as well as extensive renovations within the main terminal. The design for this staged project will be completed over the next four years, with construction beginning in the spring of 2008 for completion in 2013. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
