Crews start demolition of North Caroline airport building.
Crews are working to demolish RDU International’s Terminal 1 as part of the effort to keep up with increasing growth at the airport.
Terminal 1 was originally built in 1955 and served as the main hub at RDU until Terminal 2 was opened. The original Terminal 1 was closed in 2014 and replaced with a renovated one.
Airport representatives said the upkeep on the terminal was too expensive to maintain.
The demolition is will cost $11 million and will not interrupt flights or traffic.
