Skanska's Bold Move in Redmond: Airport Expansion Plans

On June 12, 2025, Skanska, a leading contractor in the construction industry, announced a significant contract amendment with the City of Redmond, Oregon. The focus of this agreement is the ambitious Redmond Municipal Airport Expansion Project, allocated at an impressive USD 98 million, roughly SEK 1.0 billion. This project is designed to address growing demands and improve the airport’s facilities for its increasing number of travelers.

The expansion covers a sprawling area of over 7,400 square meters (or about 80,000 square feet), featuring substantial upgrades to the concourse and terminal. Elements of the enhancement include the installation of new gates complete with jet bridges, modern retail spaces, and upgraded concessions. The design introduces innovative construction techniques such as mass timber roofing, reinforcing Skanska's commitment to sustainability and contemporary architectural trends.

Improving Accessibility and Energy Efficiency

In addition to expanding capacity, the project aims to significantly boost accessibility for passengers with disabilities. Features designed to enhance ADA compliance will ensure that all travelers can navigate the airport comfortably and safely. Furthermore, the expansion will focus on improving energy efficiency throughout the facility, aligning with modern environmental standards and efforts to minimize the carbon footprint of infrastructure projects.

Timeline and Future Outlook

Construction is set to commence in June 2025, with an expected completion date in January 2028. This timeline reflects Skanska's strategic approach to project management, ensuring that each phase of the project progresses smoothly and efficiently. The developments are anticipated to not only enhance the airport’s operational capabilities but also improve the overall passenger experience, making traveling through Redmond more convenient and enjoyable.

As part of their statement, Skanska affirmed their role as a vital player in the construction industry, capable of delivering large-scale projects that meet today’s transportation needs.

Significance of the Project

The Redmond Municipal Airport Expansion Project represents a pivotal step for the City of Redmond, which has seen continuous growth and development in recent years. This project not only symbolizes a boost to the local economy through job creation and increased tourism but also aligns with regional transportation strategies aimed at improving connectivity across Oregon.

Conclusion
