Milwaukee airport seeking bids for potential international concourse
Mitchell International Airport is seeking bids to demolish and construct a new concourse and international terminal building that will be attached to the main terminal.
The airport has four requests for proposals available for contractors to bid on. One for the demolition of concourse E, one for the development of “new concourse E,” one on boarding bridges and another on fueling.

The work includes excavation, demolition, construction, fueling system work and installation of passenger boarding bridges.
Harold Mester, director of public affairs and marketing, said “Nothing is imminent at this time.”
“The project was largely designed five years ago, but was delayed due to our revenues being down during the pandemic,” Mester said in an email. “Since then, costs have increased and we are seeking a federal grant. Any potential federal funding won’t be announced until next year. But we are being proactive so that we are ready to go if funding becomes available.”
The international concourse construction was originally scheduled for January 2021. Since the delay, costs have risen from $55 million to roughly $85 million, airport director Brian Dranzik said in March.
Also in March, the airport was awarded a $5.1 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration. The funding came from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

(Courtesy: Milwaukee Admirals)
MILWAUKEE – Ryan Ufko continued his hot offensive streak, scoring a goal and adding an assist, as the Admirals earned a point in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Cleveland Monsters on Friday night.
By the numbers:
Ufko has scored a goal in four straight games and has 11 points in his past five contests, which includes four multipoint games. Jake Lucchini also chipped in a goal, his first of the season, and an assist in the contest, while Matt Murray made 36 saves in net for Milwaukee.

The Admirals were down 2-0 12:12 into the game after Cleveland’s Luca Del Bel Belluz scored twice in a 4:17 span, but the Ads battled back with two of their own to knot the score at 2-2.
Lucchini got the Ads on the board when his initial shot from the right dot sailed wide and up the board where Ufko held the line. He passed back to Lucchini, who had moved into the slot, and ripped a shot past Cleveland goalie Ivan Fedetov.
Ufko found the back of the net 23 seconds into the second period as his shot from the right face-off dot sailed over Fedetov’s shoulder as an Admirals power-play was winding down.
David Edstrom gave the Admirals their first lead of the night 1:23 later as he picked up a shorthanded tally by collecting the rebound of a Reid Schaefer shot and depositing it into a wide open net for his second of the season.
