Turner Construction Co. will work on $42 million worth of projects at Albany International Airport, according to the Times Union.
The company, one of the largest general contractors in the Albany area, was chosen by the airport authority board Monday. Turner will oversee renovations to the terminal and the construction of a new 700-car parking garage.
The board selected CHA Consulting of Albany for design work on the garage.
The Albany airport is undergoing an improvement project totaling $92 million. The state is providing $72 million of that.
Improvements as part of the project will include adding dining options like Chick-fil-A and a deli-style restaurant. The escalators in the airport will be updated; a new heated pedestrian walkway from the parking garage will be added; and there will be new LED lighting in the garage, among other upgrades.
The Albany airport is also getting a new exit ramp off I-87.
Airport construction is expected to start in September and be completed in March 2020. Work on the highway ramps is scheduled to begin in October and be finished by November 2020.
About 1.4 million passengers boarded flights at the airport last year.
