SALT LAKE CITY — For a few hours on Monday afternoon, passengers at Salt Lake City International Airport didn't have to suffer the long walk between concourses, they could water ski it instead.
Just after 3:30 p.m., a groundwater leak in the tunnel that connects Concourses A and B made it appear as if a lake was a new airport feature.
In a photo shared by officials, crews were seen working on the leak that completely covered the tunnel floor with water.
With the water accumulating, passengers were forced to use a utility corridor to access the different concourses, with a bus bridge set up to help those who need special assistance.
Despite the leak, no travel has been affected.
Airport officials said the leak was temporarily fixed, and the tunnel was reopened around 6 p.m. They said they are working to determine the cause of the leak in order to prevent such an incident from happening again.
While the tunnel is often the bane of existence for travelers who trek the long journey between concourses, the airport announced a new tunnel that will shorten the walking distance will open Oct. 22.
