Traffic Forces Expansion at Stapleton

Denver—Traffic growth has forced Stapleton International Airport to begin a $185million terminal and gate expansion project through 1986 while the airport’s future at its present site remains cloudy and unresolved. The five-step project, funded by revenue bonds, will increase Stapleton’s gates from the current 75 to 99, largely through the construction of a new Concourse E, expected to be completed in 1986 and accounting for 18 new gates at a cost of $73.6 million.
