Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority has selected Balfour Beatty’s Building operations and joint venture partner Metcon Inc., in association with Right Build and Varnedoe Construction to deliver a US$650 million phased construction program at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) in North Carolina, USA.

The Balfour Beatty and Metcon joint venture will provide construction services to execute the expansion of Park Economy 3, enhance the Aviation Parkway and National Guard Drive interchange and implement the Terminal 2 Landside Expansion program. Construction activities for the Park Economy 3 expansion will commence in 2023 with scheduled delivery in 2025. Contracting for the construction program will be phased through multiple amendments as design, preconstruction and construction activities progress. 

To guarantee the success of the construction program, the joint venture team will strive to fulfill RDU Authority's small and minority-owned business objectives.
