Two major projects at Bradley International Airport — including $185 million for streamlining baggage checking and screening — are expected to be completed by early 2026, setting the stage for future expansion at Connecticut’s largest commercial airport, officials said Wednesday. The CAA Wednesday opened up construction areas in Bradley’s terminal during a media tour, putting on display $243 million worth of work at the airport. The $58 million project aims at the relieving the congestion at the existing central stairwell and will create a new lounge areas for people waiting for and seeing off travelers at Bradley. The central stairwell will be eliminated, allowing for an expansion of the Transportation Security Administration, or TSA, passenger checkpoint. Both the projects broke ground in early 2023, with the additions expected to be completed in the fall of 2025 and the baggage handling system soon after in early 2026. Both are about 50% finished, as of Wednesday, Dillon said.
