Multi-Phases The project is being completed in various phases - some of them at the same time. Currently, phase two of the project is nearly half complete. Its focus is on expanding the terminal apron. At a cost of about $50 million, the expansion will provide updated taxi-lane dimensions and additional overnight aircraft parking. This also includes ground service equipment storage to accommodate airline and ground service providers. This isn't the first time Hensel Phelps has worked for Austin Bergstrom. In 2015, the company completed a new six-lane passenger security checkpoint. The larger customs facility has helped increase the processing of international arrivals from 200 passengers per hour to 400 per hour - though it has the capacity to process up to 600 passengers.
