Skanska's Commitment to Modernizing Logan Airport
In a significant development for Boston’s Logan Airport, Skanska has announced the signing of an additional contract with the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) valued at USD 250 million, approximately SEK 2.6 billion. This contract is aimed at enhancing the airport's infrastructure by constructing a modern parking garage and implementing various modernization improvements at Terminal E.
As a part of Massport's Terminal E Redevelopment Plan (TERC Program), the project will involve the design and construction of a substantial new parking facility, covering over 67,400 square meters (about 725,000 square feet). This multi-story structure will house approximately 4,000 parking spaces, which will include areas specifically designated for ground transportation services on the building's lower level.
Furthermore, the contract encompasses the creation of a new vehicular bridge that will link the garage to the existing central parking complex. In addition, a new pedestrian bridge will provide a convenient connection between the garage and the terminals, enhancing the overall accessibility for travelers. Modifications to the roadways at both the Arrival and Departures levels will also be part of the project, ensuring smooth access to the new garage.
Sustainability Measures
One of the highlights of this construction project is the incorporation of sustainability initiatives. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels will be integrated into the design to help offset the electricity consumption of the parking garage. The project team is also aiming for
Parksmart certification, a designation offered by the Green Building Certification Institute, implying a commitment to environmentally responsible and sustainable design practices.
Project Timeline and Expectations
Work on the new parking facility is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2025, with an anticipated completion date set for 2030. This timeline reflects a forward-looking approach to infrastructure development at one of the busiest airports in the United States.
In conclusion, the partnership between Skanska and Massport not only represents a significant investment in enhancing airport infrastructure but also reflects a progressive vision towards sustainability in urban planning. As the project unfolds, it is expected to yield benefits not only for airport operations but also for travelers who will experience improved access and convenience.
