The 11.1-mile Pe帽a Boulevard is the primary access route for travellers, and airline and airport employees.
Under the US$22m (拢16.6m) 10-year contract, Atkins will serve as programme manager, leading a support team that will assist DEN鈥檚 airport infrastructure management staff as improvements on Pe帽a Boulevard are implemented. Projects will involve reconstruction, widening and geometric enhancements to improve safety and operations.
鈥淓xpanding and repairing Pe帽a Boulevard is a significant undertaking that will reduce congestion, increase transportation efficiency and help the airport prepare for future demands,鈥� said Daniel Liddle, program manager, who will lead the effort for Atkins.
Nearly 58.3 million passengers travelled through the airport in 2016, making it the 6th busiest in the US and more than doubling initial numbers when the facility opened in 1995. Current projections indicate more than 90 million passenger trips are anticipated by 2040.
