UTA’s Aiport station is back

Oct. 26, 2021
The new station is 4,700-square feet and extends the rail line by 1,500 feet.

The Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) Airport Station is back following a year and a half of construction and numerous bus bridges. 

Passengers can now take the TRAX Green Line all the way to Salt Lake International Airport.

The previous station

The original Airport Station opened on April 14, 2013. Since then, it has served more than 2.7 million trips. UTA began to work on the new station in March of 2020 to service the new terminal.

New and improved

The new station is 4,700-square feet and extends the rail line by 1,500 feet. If things look a little familiar it’s because they are — the station’s awing at the new station is the one that was at the original station. UTA picked it up, set it aside and then placed it at the new spot.

Something that is entirely new at the Airport Station is that this station is the first station to have UTA's complete new way-finding signage.
