Sacramento Breaks Ground On Airport Expansion

Video: Tour Of Sac International Expansion

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ― Sacramento County pulled out golden shovels and broke ground on the largest capital improvement project in it's history.  It's a $1.27 billion project including construction of a new Terminal B at Sacramento International Airport.

The project includes construction of a new terminal that will make passenger drop off easier and cut down on waits in security. It will also add new parking lots, a hotel, restaurants and even a light rail service.

But not everyone is happy with the project.  Major airlines complain the expansion will double their rent by 2013 and those increases will be passed onto the customer. 

Parking rates are also expected to go up.

The old terminal B will be open during construction and project managers say they hope the interruptions and problems are minimal during the project.
