Pittsburgh International Airport's $1.57 billion overhaul is 80% complete, with a new landside terminal set to open this fall.
Why it matters: The makeover will transform how travelers move through the airport by connecting landside and airside terminals.
Driving the news: We got an inside look at the terminal as it nears the finish line.
Zoom in: The terminal's nature-inspired design features earth tones, with support beams evoking tree limbs and lights resembling the night sky.
- Security lanes will use tech allowing liquids and laptops to stay packed.
- More than a dozen new restaurants, cafés and shops are slated to open.
- Outdoor patios with terraced lawns will offer space to relax before and after security.
What they're saying: "I can count on my hand probably the number of airports where you can go outdoors after you get through security," says Paul Hoback, Allegheny County Airport Authority chief development officer.
