$300 million to $700 million in former baggage tunnels beneath Denver International Airport will be converted into pedestrian walkways linking concourses A, B and C, with construction set to start in 2027.
The project is part of the airport’s Vision 100 expansion plan to handle future passenger growth and give travelers an alternative to the underground train system that now moves most passengers between concourses.
Airport CEO Phil Washington said the work will be funded from airport revenue rather than taxpayer dollars, alongside broader upgrades including train improvements, gate expansions and Jeppesen Terminal renovations.
Denver’s long-secretive tunnel system has fueled decades of theories about bunkers, lizard people and other hidden facilities since the airport’s troubled 1995 opening, and the announcement quickly drew online jokes as well as support from travelers.
As DIA spends up to $700M on walkways, is this the best solution for its massive growth and infamous train failures?
Will DIA's new underground walkways finally debunk its famous conspiracy theories, or will they only deepen the mystery for travelers?
