Specifically, the airport is exploring options to replace its ageing tram system. This project aims to enhance travel times, accessibility, and the overall experience within the airport. This includes movement between gates at different concourses and between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

HDR project manager Mike Witiw said:

At its core, this project is about improving the experience for passengers and employees. MSP has long been committed to providing one of the best airports in North America for its users, and as somebody who frequently flies into and out of the airport, I’m thrilled that our team at HDR can help further that tradition.

The study’s findings will be incorporated into MSP’s long-term capital plan to reimagine the facility.

HDR will lead a multiphase project starting with a needs assessment. It will then evaluate potential solutions. This process will include schematic design and analysis of the best project delivery method.

The local team of planners and engineers will be supported by national experts in passenger flow, people-moving technology, and terminal design.

The first phase, which involves examining passenger movements and identifying mobility issues, has already begun and is set to be completed by summer 2024. Subsequent phases will follow.
