An expansive walkway over taxiways is the highlight of the planned new International Arrivals Facility at Sea-Tac International Airport, south of Seattle. The 900 linear ft of aerial walkway will soar 85 ft over the active airfield to connect arriving international passengers from the south satellite to the new facility.
The $660-million project is funded by airport-generated revenues, passenger facility charges and revenue bonds.The Port of Seattle expects to build a multilevel, 450,000-sq-ft facility, breaking ground in the first quarter of 2017 and opening it by the end of 2019.
