A number of the country\u2019s largest construction projects are set to hit major development milestones in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Priced from the hundreds of millions to the tens of billions, these developments-in-progress are notable for their size, impact and importance to their respective sectors. They include an NFL stadium, a major airport expansion and a massive manufacturing plant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Below are just a few of the projects Construction Dive is planning to keep an eye on in the year ahead:\u00a0<\/p>\n

This spring, a <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Gilbane-Turner JV will begin construction<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0on the $1.4 billion stadium for the NFL\u2019s Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, New York, with plans to finish the project before the 2026 season. Kansas City, Missouri-based Populous will serve as architect.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul approved the stadium project last March. Several contributors will fund the project, which will be <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>among the most expensive ever built<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. The Bills and the NFL will provide $550 million, Erie County $250 and New York state $600 million. Per an agreement with the state, the stadium must include at least 60,000 seats.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Renderings released in October<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> show the stadium will be open air, and feature a stacked seating design \u2014 which the franchise said will make crowd noise more deafening. Additionally, extensive radiant heating will keep fans comfortable during the harsh upstate New York winter.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The JV will build the yet-to-be-named stadium on Abbott Road, across from Highmark Stadium, which will continue to serve as the Bills\u2019 home field for the time being.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The terminal projects at John F. Kennedy International Airport are part of its transformation to <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>accommodate dramatic expected growth<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> in coming years. The $400 million <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Terminal 8 modernization<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> began in 2019 and wrapped in 2022, but other elements are still underway. In the coming year, construction is expected to advance on Terminals 1, 4 and 6.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The $9.5 billion Terminal 1 project broke ground in September 2022 and will be completed in three phases. The <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>design-build team<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> is composed of AECOM Tishman and Gensler. Work entails building 23 new gates, retail, dining and an indoor green space on the old sites of Terminals 1, 2 and 3. It\u2019s expected to open to passengers in 2026 and be fully complete by 2030.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Terminal 4<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, with a price tag of $1.5 billion, was approved in spring 2022 and is now under construction. Delta Airlines is managing construction with support from firms including STV, Turner Construction, Group PMX, McKissack and NYCO. Work will include new gate areas, seating and space to relax.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Construction on the $4.2 billion <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Terminal 6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0is set to start in early 2023. It will be built through a P3 between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and JFK Millennium Partners, a consortium that includes Vantage Airport Group, American Triple I, real estate operating company RXR and JetBlue Airways. The new terminal will have 10 gates, shopping and dining, according to the New York Governor\u2019s Office.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Southeast Connector Project<\/a> is a 16-mile effort to widen I-20 and I-820 and rebuild interchanges between the two freeways and Highway 287. South-Point Constructors, a joint venture with Kiewit Infrastructure South and Austin Bridge & Road, landed the design, build and maintenance contract.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The project\u2019s goal is to relieve traffic delays and facilitate trade, increase safety and improve efficiency around Fort Worth, Texas. It will tie in the east and southeast part of Tarrant County \u2014 the state\u2019s third most populated county \u2014 to Fort Worth.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Southeast Connector represents the Texas DOT Fort Worth District\u2019s largest investment in transportation infrastructure to date, the agency said. It launched in December 2022 and is projected to be finished by 2027.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
