Large transportation infrastructure projects led the list of top starts in the Mountain States region for 2014, as Denver and Salt Lake City officials are working to meet the needs of a fast-growing population in both metro areas.
Salt Lake International Airport's $1.5-billion Terminal Redevelopment Program topped the list. The TRP is building 4 million sq ft of new facilities at the airport, including a new terminal and concourse and a connecting parking deck. The project also will improve and rehabilitate other structures, roadways and overpasses. Construction is being led by a joint venture of Holder and Big-D Construction. Completion is expected in 2023.
