Demolition work taking place at Juneau Airport

Demolition work at the Juneau International Airport has begun. The work is part of the Juneau Airport’s Terminal Reconstruction Project to replace the oldest portions of the terminal that house the regional air carriers and airport administrative offices, and to improve both airport operations and energy efficiency of the building.

To allow the demolition work to proceed, the Main Terminal has been separated from the north Terminal Annex. Public access to Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Lines flights, along with rental cars and terminal concessions remains through the main entrance. Public access to Alaska Sea Planes, Island Air, and U.S. Customs is now through a separate outside entrance to the north Terminal Annex. Passengers must use outside sidewalks between the two buildings. Please pay attention and abide by wayfinding signage posted throughout the airport.

The demolition will primarily occur from the secure airfield side of the building, but the public may notice vibration and noise from the construction activity. The public should watch for trucks hauling debris, and remember that there is no parking or waiting along Shell Simmons Drive. The demolition will take several weeks to complete, then concrete foundations for the new structure will begin. The Juneau Airport Terminal Reconstruction project is scheduled to be complete in Fall 2021.
