SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Jan. 28, 2026) – Sundt Construction was selected to construct the new Terminal 2 East Connector at the San Diego International Airport. The project will connect the new Terminal 1 with the existing Terminal 2 East.
The two-level connector project will include an employee security checkpoint, landside concessions, new airside security barriers, apron improvements and landside improvements for the traveling public at the ground level. The second level includes a secured pedestrian walkway between the terminals, two new gate hold rooms, and passenger boarding bridges.
“We’re proud to continue our long-standing partnership with the Airport Authority on what is now our fifth project at the San Diego International Airport,” said Sundt Project Director Brad Kirsch. “We’re excited to lead the next phase of the airport’s transformation and create a connected terminal experience for air travelers.”
A progressive design-build project, Sundt and its design partner, HOK, have begun design development and preconstruction efforts. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027.
