Portland, OR Airport terminal expansion prepares for take-off upon completion of phase one setting of roof sections


PORTLAND, OR --Portland International Airport, commonly referred to as “PDX” and one of America’s best airports, anticipates substantial growth over the next two decades.


The roof, crafted mainly from regionally and sustainably sourced wood, was fully prefabricated between the active runways of the airport over the course of a year.

At midnight on the day of each move, the runways were closed for the one-mile transport of the panel from laydown yard to terminal. The roof sections were moved with care at a speed of about 1.6 kilometers, or one mile, per hour.
