The Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) has awarded a $334.9m design-build contract to Skanska for its Roadways, Utilities and Enabling (RUE) project.
The five-year contract will include the provision of enabling works for the Landside Access Modernisation Programme (LAMP).
LAMP focuses on high-priority projects that include the automated people mover (APM), consolidated rent-a-car (ConRAC) facility and intermodal transportation facility (ITF)-West.
The extension will expand the roadway from where it currently ends at Bellanca Avenue to the 405 Freeway, where the improvements to the southbound freeway on- and off-ramps will also be implemented.
The RUE project also includes new wayfinding signage that will help travellers navigate the new LAX landscape upon completion of the LAMP.
