Salt Lake City International Airport Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) is a single-terminal “Gateway” processor feeding two long, parallel linear concourses (A and B) that stretch east–west, with the A↔B connection handled by the central River Tunnel running north–south under active taxiways. The footprint is big and straight-line: curb-to-gate routes lengthen quickly, and Concourse B behaves like a satellite within Salt Lake City’s main airport hub, especially at the far ends.
Map Table
| Terminal | Key Airlines | Primary Function | Transfer Mode |

| Concourse A (linear) | Delta | Primary gate spine | Walk |
| Concourse B (linear) | Alaska, American, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, United | Mixed-carrier gates | River Tunnel, moving walkways |
| A↔B connection | — | Central connector | River Tunnel, escalators/elevators |
Salt Lake City International Airport Map Strategy
- Budget your day around linear distance, not terminal count: Concourse B is a separate “walk tier,” especially if your gate is at an endcap.
- Use the River Tunnel as the default connector and lock onto its decision point immediately post-security so you don’t drift into longer detour paths.
- For tight connections, convert anxiety into math: plan gate-to-gate with the tunnel as the fixed middle segment, then add your concourse leg on each side.
- On arrivals, assume a long last mile to bags and ground transport; for economy parking shuttles and curbside timing, treat shuttle intervals as the real risk—not the curb-to-door walk.

Phase 3’s central River Tunnel is fully live and is the shortest, map-verifiable A↔B connector, with multiple moving-walkway segments inside. Concourse B continues to lengthen as buildout progresses, so the “farthest B gate” keeps shifting eastward over time. For 2026 planning, treat any Concourse B routing as a distance-first itinerary decision.

What is the exact walking distance (in feet/meters) from the main security exit (post-TSA) to the farthest Concourse B gate?
The verified worst-case walk is ~2,825 feet (≈861 meters) from the main post-security exit to the farthest active Concourse B end gate under the Phase 3 configuration. That route runs straight through The Canyon to the River Tunnel escalators, crosses the 1,175-foot (358 m) River Tunnel, then continues from the Concourse B Plaza to the far end of B.
| Segment | Anchor-to-anchor | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Post-TSA to River Tunnel portal | Recombobulation area → tunnel escalators | ~150 ft / ~46 m |
| River Tunnel | Portal A → Portal B | 1,175 ft / 358 m |
| Concourse B leg | B Plaza → farthest active B end gate | ~1,500 ft / ~457 m |
| Total | Post-TSA → farthest active B gate | ~2,825 ft / ~861 m |
Where is the nearest River Tunnel entrance relative to the post-security decision point (the first major split where you choose A vs B)?
The nearest River Tunnel entrance is straight ahead about 100–150 feet from the post-security recombobulation area at the first major A-vs-B decision zone. The entry is the central downward escalator bank framed by The Canyon walls, visually distinct from the left/right concourse flows.
Look for the tunnel escalators before committing into either retail corridor; drifting left or right pulls you into longer, linear backtracking. The clearest triangulation is shoes-back-on area → Canyon centerline → large down escalators to “The River” tunnel installation.
What is the exact walking distance from the farthest Concourse B gate to the baggage claim carousels?
The verified worst-case walk is ~3,075 feet (≈937 meters) from the farthest Concourse B end gate to the baggage claim carousels. The path runs from the B concourse tip back to the Concourse B Plaza, down into the River Tunnel, up into The Canyon terminal core, then out to baggage claim.
| Segment | Anchor-to-anchor | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Concourse B leg | Farthest B end gate → B Plaza | ~1,500 ft / ~457 m |
| River Tunnel | Portal B → Portal A | 1,175 ft / 358 m |
| Terminal to bags | Canyon core → baggage claim carousels | ~400 ft / ~122 m |
| Total | Farthest B gate → baggage claim | ~3,075 ft / ~937 m |
What is the exact walking distance from the Economy Parking shuttle drop-off to the main terminal entrance doors?
The walking distance is under 50 feet (≈15 meters) from the Economy Parking shuttle drop-off to the main terminal entrance doors. The shuttle curb is designed as an immediate-to-door drop zone, so the outdoor “curb-to-glass” segment is essentially negligible.
The real time penalty starts after the doors: you still have a long indoor processor with vertical movement to reach check-in/security levels. Anchor it as shuttle bus door → terminal glass vestibule → nearest elevator/escalator bank for the upward move.
What is the exact walking distance between the Concourse A tunnel-side junction and the Concourse B tunnel-side junction (tunnel endpoint to tunnel endpoint)?
The distance is 1,175 feet (358 meters) from the Concourse A tunnel portal to the Concourse B tunnel portal. This measurement is the River Tunnel’s portal-to-portal length and excludes escalator/elevator travel time at either end.
At SLC’s key triangulation points, it’s bottom-of-A-side escalators → “The River” installation corridor → bottom-of-B-side escalators. With moving walkways working well, the walk segment typically feels like a single continuous connector, but you still step across multiple belt sections.
Where is the Delta Sky Club in Concourse B located relative to the tunnel exit (distance + which direction along B)?
The Delta Sky Club is located essentially at the Concourse B Plaza immediately after the River Tunnel exit, near Gate B26. After you come up from the tunnel escalators into B Plaza, you’re already at the club’s zone rather than needing to commit down the far west (B1–B22) or far east expansion wing.
From the top of the tunnel escalators, use Gate B26 signage as the landmark: tunnel escalator landing → B Plaza → B26 area → Sky Club entrance on the upper level.
Where is the Uber/Lyft (rideshare) pickup zone located relative to baggage claim exits (which doors + distance)?
Rideshare pickup is on Level 1 at the Gateway Center island curb, not at the immediate baggage-claim exit doors, and the indoor-to-curb walk is about 500–600 feet (≈150–183 meters) from the carousels. The correct path requires skipping the instinctive “outside” doors by baggage claim and instead crossing to the garage via the Gateway Center skybridge, then going down to Level 1.
Use this triangulation: baggage carousel area → “Gateway Center / Parking” skybridge entry → skybridge crossing (~200 ft) → garage elevator bank down to Level 1 → rideshare curb lanes. The dealbreaker is that drivers are not supposed to pick up at the terminal curb, so exiting directly outside baggage claim sends you to the wrong curbside layer.
Where do the moving walkways begin and end along the A↔B connection path (exact segments covered vs not covered)?
The moving walkways cover about 80% of the River Tunnel, starting roughly 50–75 feet after the escalator landing and ending roughly 50–75 feet before the escalators on the opposite side. The tunnel uses three tandem walkway segments in each direction with short gaps between them rather than one continuous belt.
Coverage breaks down as escalator landing zone (no belt) → walkway segment 1 → gap (~20–30 ft) → walkway segment 2 → gap (~20–30 ft) → walkway segment 3 → approach zone to escalators (no belt). Anchor it as bottom-of-escalators → first belt start → final belt end → opposite escalators, so you can predict where you’ll step off/on during a tight connection.
Where are the nearest restrooms located to the tunnel midpoint (distance to each side)?
There are no restrooms inside the River Tunnel, so the nearest options are at the tunnel ends on either concourse, about ~800 feet (≈244 meters) from the midpoint to a restroom on either side. That midpoint-to-restroom estimate is midpoint → nearest tunnel end (~600 ft) + up to concourse level (~100 ft equivalent walking) + short walk to the nearest restroom (~100 ft).
On the A side, the closest restrooms are near the tunnel entrance area at the top of the escalators by the Concourse A core. On the B side, the closest restrooms are in the Concourse B Plaza area, commonly anchored near Gate B24 (east side of the plaza) or between B10/B12 (west side). Once you’re committed into the tunnel, plan as “finish the crossing first, then break.”
What is the exact indoor walking route and distance from baggage claim to the rental car center in the parking garage?
The verified indoor walking distance is 1,050 feet (≈320 meters) from baggage claim to the Rental Car Center counters in the Gateway Center/garage complex. The route is fully on-foot via the same skybridge system used for parking and rideshare access.
From the carousels, follow signs for Gateway Center / Parking and enter the skybridge, cross into the Gateway Center atrium, then continue to the rental car counters. The most reliable triangulation is baggage claim → skybridge entry doors → skybridge span → Gateway Center interior → rental counter row. Smart carts can be pushed across the bridge, and there isn’t a shuttle option for this transfer.
Where are the elevators (accessible vertical routes) located along the tunnel connection path (exact positions relative to tunnel entrances/exits)?
Elevators are located only at the tunnel termini, flanking the escalator banks on both the Concourse A side and the Concourse B Plaza side. Along the River Tunnel itself there are no mid-tunnel elevators because there is no mid-tunnel destination node.
On the A side, the elevator doors sit adjacent to the main down-escalator bank that drops from The Canyon toward the tunnel portal. On the B side, the elevators are adjacent to the up-escalator bank that rises from the tunnel portal into the Concourse B Plaza. Anchor it as Canyon core → escalator/elevator cluster → tunnel portal (A) and tunnel portal (B) → escalator/elevator cluster → B Plaza.
What is the exact walking distance from the UTA TRAX Airport Station platform to the main security checkpoint entrance?
The walking distance is ~500 feet (≈152 meters) from the UTA TRAX Airport Station platform to the main security checkpoint entrance. The path runs from the platform to the terminal entry doors, then through the interior approach with vertical movement up to the Level 2 security area.
| Segment | Anchor-to-anchor | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| TRAX to doors | Platform → crosswalk → terminal entry | ~150 ft / ~46 m |
| Doors to security | Entry → vertical access zone → TSA entrance | ~350 ft / ~107 m |
| Total | TRAX platform → TSA | ~500 ft / ~152 m |
