Denver Airport Commits $700 Million to Overhaul Notoriously Unreliable Concourse Train System
Denver International Airport (DIA) is investing approximately $700 million to fix its notoriously unreliable Automated Guideway Transit System. The train, which connects the main terminal to the concourses, has been plagued by frequent breakdowns for nearly 30 years, causing significant passenger delays. This major overhaul is part of a larger $1.5 billion Concourse Expansion Program. The project includes replacing the 31 aging train cars and upgrading the central control system to improve efficiency. The primary goal is to enhance reliability and increase capacity to accommodate the airport's growing passenger numbers, with completion expected by 2028.
