Portland International Airport is in the midst of a series of large construction projects dubbed PDX Next that will see a host of renovations and new construction over the next six years. The most prominent of those projects is an 830-foot long expansion of passenger Concourse E on the airport’s north side that will re-balance how the air carriers who serve PDX are organized across the airport’s four main terminals.

Dubbed the Terminal Rebalancing, the project includes construction of six new gates that will allow the largest two air carriers at PDX, Alaska Air Group and Southwest Airlines, to reorganize their aircraft. Southwest Airlines will move from Concourse C to Concourse E when the project is finished, while Alaska will spread out between Concourse B and C on the south side.

The $215 million expansion broke ground last summer and still has roughly two years to go until completion. For now, check out this photo gallery of ongoing construction, which remains below grade at this stage but will soon include installation of structural steel.
