The Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners (BOAC) has approved $1 billion in additional funding for the final phase of construction of the Airfield and Terminal Modernization Program (ATMP) Roadway Improvement Project at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

The project, an important component of Los Angeles World Airports’ (LAWA) $30 billion capital improvement programme, will reconfigure 4.4 miles of roadway to better manage airport and neighbourhood traffic entering, exiting and surrounding the airport.

‘We’re prioritising both guests and the surrounding community by separating airport traffic from local traffic, reducing congestion and enhancing pedestrian safety throughout the area,’ says BOAC president Karim Webb.

The project will remove more than 500 cars from Sepulveda Boulevard at any given time and create protected pedestrian bridges and multi-use paths for pedestrians and cyclists.

It is part of LAX’s new arrival and departure sequence (Automated People Mover, Consolidated Rent-A-Car facility, Auxiliary Curbs).
