Pitkin County Sets 2027 Construction Timeline for Aspen Airport Terminal and Runway Upgrade

Pitkin County officials prepare for the 2027 Aspen/Pitkin County Airport modernization project, which includes a terminal redesign and runway upgrades.

By Colin Percy · May 26, 2026

The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is moving toward the 'enabling work' phase of its modernization project, with preliminary construction expected to begin this July. As of late May 2026, planning for the enabling work has reached 90% completion, while the overall airfield design reached 60% completion. The modernization project is slated to include a full redesign of the terminal and upgrades to the airport runway.

Local officials have indicated that the facility will be closed from April to November 2027 to accommodate these capital improvements. The Aspen Chamber Resort Association is currently coordinating with the local housing authority to address potential workforce impacts and employee housing needs during the anticipated shutdown period.
