LAX receives M grant from the federal government to improve surrounding roadways

LAX was awarded a $31 million grant from the federal government to improve surrounding roadways.

“This award funds two areas of the Auxiliary Curbs at ITF West and ITF East, which includes a combination of new, extending, widening, and utility improvements of surrounding roadways. This also includes underground Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater containment systems,” a news release from The Federal Aviation Administration said.

LAX was among 114 airports nationwide that received grants from the federal government as part of President Biden’s Bipartisan Investing in America agenda.

About $970 million was awarded to the airports to help “rebuild our nation’s infrastructure while lowering costs for families, creating good jobs, and advancing opportunity for all Americans,” a news release said.

“Under this administration, we are doing more to improve the travel experience than ever before, from expanding consumer protections to modernizing the physical infrastructure,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.

“These investments we announced were made possible by President Biden’s historic infrastructure package, will make it easier for passengers to get to and through airports, create jobs, and increase safety for all.”

An automated people mover is also expected to be at the airport by 2025, according to a report posted by Fitch Rating Service, one of three major bond rating agencies in the U.S.

The LAX Automated People Mover will reduce traffic and make it easier for travelers to take public transit to and from the airport.
