Pittsburgh’s most iconic feature may be its entrance from the Fort Pitt Tunnel into its Downtown. And now its airport is using the same idea.
Today, Pittsburgh International Airport unveiled the designs of a dynamic connector bridge and tunnel from the new landside terminal – now under construction – to the existing airside center core, a uniquely Pittsburgh gateway for passengers to reach their favorite airside shops, restaurants and, of course, gates.
“Pittsburgh is a city with a magnificent entrance and this design, as part of our new terminal program, provides travelers with a similar experience,” said Paul Hoback, Chief Development Officer for the Allegheny County Airport Authority. “Capturing the essence of Pittsburgh is an important part of our new facility.”
