Ever heard of National Aviation Day? It’s real. And the Salt Lake City International Airport celebrated it Monday by releasing a time-lapse video of some of the ongoing construction of its new $3.6 billion replacement facility.
“It’s to help educate the public and passengers about different aspects of the construction,” says airport spokeswoman Nancy Volmer.
The airport hired Avalanche Productions to produce vignettes of the construction over time, which Volmer says eventually will be used for a documentary at ceremonies to open the first phase of the new airport on Sept. 15, 2020.
She said the airport realized it wasn’t providing information at the airport about the huge construction project and its progress.
