Representatives from the Metropolitan Airports Commission Will Host a Grand Opening of the New Orange Ramp Skyway

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Representatives from the Metropolitan Airports Commission will host a grand opening of the new Orange Ramp Skyway connecting light rail transit and the MSP Value Parking facility to Terminal 2-Humphrey at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Previously, people who rode light rail to the terminal or who parked in Value Parking had to walk through the Orange and Purple parking ramps to gain access to the skyway connecting those facilities to Terminal 2. With the new skyway, people have direct, climate-controlled access to the terminal from the light rail platform and MSP Value Parking ramp.

• The skyway and expanded terminal vestibule are well positioned to serve additional gates the MAC plans to build at the north end of Terminal 2-Humphrey when demand warrants
