POTD: Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport

This weekend we passed through the Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport, seen here. Just this month, the Houston Airport System (in partnership with Continental Airlines) announced that it will be spending $1.2 billion on a renovation and expansion of the airport. The project will expand Terminal B from 360,000 square feet to 1.7 million square feet, bigger than the city’s Minute Maid Park. Look for work to start later this year and continue for the next seven to ten years.
