The new tunnel-related project is reported to be estimated at $300-$700 million, with construction expected to begin in 2027. The mayor is quoted suggesting that, while the work may address traveler needs, it could also let people form their own views about what\u2019s true versus fictional.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re the conspiratorial type, you probably have a \u201cfavorite\u201d conspiracy theory.<\/p>\n<p>From the moon landing to JFK\u2019s assassination, every <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >tin foil hat-wearer<\/a> has a theory they\u2019re absolutely convinced is true.<\/p>\n<p>Well, one of those famous conspiracy theories will now apparently be put to the test, finally answering the question: \u201cWhat in the world is going on with Denver International Airport?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the unfamiliar, the Denver airport may seem like any other major U.S. air hub.<\/p>\n<p>But for people who\u2019ve actually spent some time taking the sights and sounds of the airport in, something has always felt amiss.<\/p>\n<p>With the airport\u2019s apocalyptic imagery \u2014 such as the creepy blue horse statue with blood-red eyes \u2014 theories have largely floated around about the airport ever since it was built in 1995.<\/p>\n<p>(It\u2019s noticeable enough that the Denver Center for the Performing Arts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denvercenter.org\/news-center\/why-is-dia-so-creepy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">once called<\/a> the airport \u201ccreepy.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>One of the major theories? That there was an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/father-who-left-ny-after-slamming-woke-school-leave-there-go-to-florida\/\" title=\"Father Who Left NY After Slamming Woke School: Leave There, Go To Florida\">underground network<\/a> of tunnels beneath the airport that was primarily used by anything from \u201clizard people\u201d to the Illuminati and the New World Order.<\/p>\n<p>Well, now, those theories can officially be put to the test, because Denver International Airport is opening up those tunnels, though not necessarily to debunk conspiracy theorists.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/travel\/mysterious-airport-tunnels-open-beneath-hub-long-tied-conspiracy-theories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, the Denver airport is actually converting some of these underground tunnels into pedestrian walkways connecting its terminals.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a very pragmatic reason to open these tunnels up \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t mean the airport isn\u2019t aware of its reputation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a big win for Denver\u2019s travelers and for our entire community,\u201d Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flydenver.com\/press-release\/denver-international-airport-continues-investment-in-customer-experience-announces-plans-for-pedestrian-walkways-connecting-concourses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019ve heard loud and clear that easier, more reliable ways to move between concourses has been a top priority for people traveling in and out of DEN.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese new pedestrian walkways would deliver on that \u2014 giving folks more flexibility while we continue building one of the best-connected airports in the world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd who knows\u2026 maybe along the way, travelers will finally get a closer look at the underground tunnels and decide for themselves what\u2019s fact and what\u2019s fiction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ah, and what about cost? This is worth discussing, because another reason so many conspiracy theories persist about Denver International Airport is because of the bloated price tag attached to building it.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2020\/03\/01\/denver-airport-25-years-boondoggle-anniversary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Denver Post<\/a> pointed out in 2020, the Denver airport\u2019s building history is a bit spotty. Not only was the project 16 months overdue, but it went $2 billion over its original $2.9 billion budget.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, this tunnel project doesn\u2019t appear \u2014 for now \u2014 to be billions over budget.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/denver-airport-will-use-its-mysterious-underground-tunnels-to-build-new-pedestrian-walkways-11984615\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">People<\/a> magazine, this project is expected to cost between $300 and $700 million.<\/p>\n<p>Construction is expected to begin in 2027.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
