Airport Extension
Construction began on October 22, 2008 on an extension to the Salt Lake City International Airport. The extension includes six new TRAX stations. In addition to the Airport Station, there will be five new stations along North Temple Street (100 North), including one on top of the newly built North Temple Viaduct bridge. The old bridge was torn down and a new one constructed as part of the project. The new bridge will feature a TRAX station on top and a FrontRunner commuter rail station underneath (North Temple). After December 9, 2012, service on the line ended Arena in order to prepare for test trains and service to the Airport, thus permanenty ending service (via the Green Line) to the first three stations of the former route (Salt Lake Central, Old GreekTown, and Planetarium). Service to Airport is scheduled to begin April 14, 2013.

“It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
