A $45 million project revamping areas of the Gerald R. Ford International Airport begins next week.
Airport officials say centralized passenger security checkpoints, new business centers and new retail, food and beverage spaces are among key features of the Gateway Transformation plan.
The first phase of work also includes new flooring, lighting fixtures and restrooms.
Additional features include an exhibit dedicated to Gerald R. Ford and a reconstructed indoor space for those seeing loved ones off for departure.
Construction of the first 18-month project phase is scheduled to begin on Monday, December 14, and be completed in summer 2017.
A second phase renovating airline ticketing and baggage claim and screening areas is expected to begin after.
Airport officials say some work may impact traveler traffic and terminal operations.
