Construction Begins on Jacksonville Aviation Authority’s Third Concourse, Parking Garage

Balfour Beatty breaks ground on Jacksonville Aviation Authority’s approximately $340 million Concourse B project and an additional parking garage at Jacksonville International Airport in Florida. A ceremonial dirt turning event was held on May 10. Once complete, the major construction projects will transform the travel experience at JAX and meet future demand of forecasted passenger traffic.

Balfour Beatty serves as general contractor for the deliveries of the new concourse and approximately $100 million parking garage structure at JAX. Concourse B will be constructed over three major phases which includes the delivery of phase one, the security checkpoint expansion which was completed in Fall 2023.

Phase two includes the taxiway whiskey and ramp construction and the planning, design, construction and relocation of airfield equipment. The last phase is the construction of the 190,000-square-foot Concourse B which features six additional gates to grow airline operations, as well as new restaurants and amenities for passengers.

The new parking structure will add approximately 2,000 additional spaces and feature six levels of parking located next to the existing daily garage. The structure will also include changes to the rental car pickup and drop-off area, which will reduce traffic closer to the terminal.

The new Concourse B will be designed to allow the airport to facilitate 10 million passengers through 2035. Construction is underway with expected completion December 2026.
