The construction of Terminal C is expected to begin in 2023 and be completed in phases. The first phase, which includes 36 gates, is scheduled to open in 2030. The remaining gates will be added in subsequent phases. “This expansion is a transformative investment in Denver’s future,” said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock. “Terminal C will not only enhance the passenger experience but also create thousands of jobs and boost our local economy.” The expansion project is estimated to cost approximately $5 billion and will be funded through a combination of passenger fees, bonds, and federal grants.
