Terminal A at Alabama’s Shuttlesworth Airport to be demolished
Birmingham’s old airport terminal is being torn down to make way for a more than $200 million renovation.
Officials say workers will soon begin demolishing the old Terminal A at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. The building served as the city’s main air gateway from 1962 until 1973.
Officials say demolition of the terminal and an air cargo facility will make way for the addition of a new concourse. The renovation project will roughly double the size of the terminal at the airport, which is the state’s busiest.
Work is scheduled for completion in 2014.
