Crews will be adding more construction walls on the train platform, but that shouldn't cause any detours.

New construction walls have also been installed at the south end of the terminal on both sides of level 6, where the ticket counters for Southwest and United airlines used to be. Those check-in areas will be updated to accommodate future airline moves.
