As the saying goes, nothing in life is certain but death, taxes, and long security lines at the airport — although officials at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport are looking to change that third part.
Airport officials and local leaders broke ground Thursday on a groundbreaking new expansion to the security checkpoint area at SDF.
Here’s a look at the project, by the numbers:
- $45 million — the total cost of the project, with most covered by federal funding
- 30,000 sqft — the size of the addition
- 10 total security screening lanes — this is up from the current six
Fun fact: SDF is the fastest-growing, top 100 airport in the US, according to officials at the groundbreaking ceremony.
Construction will begin in the coming weeks. Officials expect the project to be complete in late 2026.
