The airport design you've grown accustomed to for 15 years may be altered at a cost of $650 million.
Denver International Airport unveiled the design for its planned expansion, which includes a 500-room hotel, train station from downtown Denver and new rail bridge that would go over Peña Boulevard.
"Let me emphasize no general or city tax dollars will be used on this project. We generate money; we generate revenue, and we have never used general fund money," said DIA Aviation Director Kim Day. "We rely on our own revenue plus federal grants for everything we do."
The $650 million estimate has not been approved. The project will be vetted by Denver City Council in the fall.

"We will not build anything we cannot afford. This will be a transparent process, and let me assure everyone here, particularly our airline partners, we will not do anything that negatively impacts this airport's financial future or our competitiveness," said Day. "Though we are only 15 years old, it's time to look forward and to plan for the future."
The design would change the look of the outside of the airport. The building on the south side of the terminal would incorporate arches, canopies and podiums.
