Terminal 1 is winding down, workers are taking the signs down for @FlyFrontier @AlaskaAir @SouthwestAir and @TSA has started moving their equipment out!

Talk about getting here early for your flight, my new friend Margo is flying to Indiana in the morning. They are now trying to figure out what to do with her because there will be a few hours overnight where there will be no public access to the airport. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grimasse schneidendes Gesicht">

Terminal 1 was built in 1981, it is pretty much game over at this point. There’s one more flight in a few hours so we are now heading over to Terminal 2, which houses @Delta . There are a ton of movers here! #TheNewSLC @KUTV2News
. @Delta still has like 25 more flights tonight so terminal 2 seems to be business as usual. Last flight out is at 11:30 to #ATL and the first flight out of the new airport is at 6am also to Atlanta. Do you think they would give me this sign if I asked? #TheNewSLC @KUTV2News
Several passengers I talked to said they thought it was just a new terminal opening, not an entirely new airport. Nope, come midnight, lock the doors to the old one and call the wrecking ball.

Some of the existing gates will still be used for another month until the north concourse opens in October. After that, the old airport will be torn down to make way for future expansion. #TheNewSLC @KUTV2News
The current @slcairport has basically been added onto since the & #39;60s. It& #39;s like frankenstein and they just added bits on as needed. There are some amazing pictures of the airport over the years on the @UTHistory website: https://history.utah.gov/library-collections/digital-collections/">https://history.utah.gov/library-c... @KUTV2News @slcairport
I just did a FB live through the current airport as things wind down, just a few more hours and it is closed for good! https://www.facebook.com/KUTV2News/videos/1216352785410793/">https://www.facebook.com/KUTV2News... @KUTV2News
It’s pretty much cleared out. The roadways will close around midnight and crews will get the roadways set for traffic to go to the new airport, that should be an exciting production. We’ll be here overnight so stay tuned! I’ll be live on @KUTV2News at 10 as well!
About 6 @Delta jets are parked at the new gates ready for morning flights!! We’ll be out here documenting the night’s activities - new airport opens at 4 am! We’ll be live on #2NEWSAM at 4:30! @KUTV2News
12:40 a.m. , the road crews have now started the process of re-aligning the roadways. They have about 3 hours to get their work done before people will start arriving for am flights! @KUTV2News #TheNewSLC @slcairport
