This will be another phase in the final stage of the $71m project, which was commenced by Sterling Construction in 2015 and involves the construction of a new concrete aircraft apron around Terminal 4 South, which is currently under construction.

The company stated that the project will be executed together with the progressing Terminal 4 Concourse construction.

Apart from other paving works, around 48,000 square yards of airfield concrete and additional apron-associated infrastructure will be constructed under this project.

Sterling CEO Joe Cutillo said: “We are glad to have been selected to replace the apron at Sky Harbor’s Terminal 4 South, especially after winning the project to reconstruct the apron at the North Concourse earlier last month. Our long history and strong track record at Sky Harbor was one of the leading drivers to winning this job and continuing our ongoing work at Terminal 4, which began in 2015. This project will help improve aircraft ground traffic and safety at one of the busiest airports in the nation.”
