ATLANTA, GA — Crews and stakeholders at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) have completed Phase 1 of ATL’s Concourse D Widening Project. The accelerated schedule for D Widening’s Phase 1 enabled the airport and partners to complete the work and reopen six gates by the deadline.

Within three months of the last module being transported across runways and taxiways, the Department of Aviation constructed approximately 21,000 square feet of additional boarding-level space in Concourse D. The sections will now accommodate the newest Aircraft Design Group (ADG) III, such as the Boeing 737 Max and Airbus 321 Neo. All work was completed behind construction barriers to minimize passenger disruption.

ATL Senior Deputy General Manager of Infrastructure Frank Rucker praised the collaborative work between partners and project teams. “The Concourse D Widening Project is one of the most important projects to date,” Rucker said. “We thank our partners for their commitment in helping us reach this target.”

The D Widening Project is being done in phases to maintain operations and minimize disruptions. ATL Assistant General Manager of Planning and Development Tom Nissalke praised the various groups contributing to the effort. “Everyone involved carried out their responsibilities to make this a success,” he said. “They all delivered as one team, and now that this phase is complete, we’re moving on to phase two.”

  • Work at Concourse D for Phase 2 recently began with the closure of seven existing ADG II gates. This will allow teams to begin necessary foundation and civil work.
