New York’s LaGuardia Airport is getting a $4 billion renovation.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo unveiled his plans to redesign the outdated airport yesterday. The renovations are expected to be approved by the first half of 2016.
“LaGuardia is slow. It’s dated. It is a terrible front door entranceway,” Cuomo said. “We are transforming LaGuardia into a globally-renowned, 21st century airport that is worthy of the city and state of New York.”
The improvements will make it easier to navigate to and around LaGuardia Airport. Terminal B will be torn down and completely rebuilt. All of the terminals will finally be connected under one roof with a new transportation system between the terminals.
Nearly two miles of new taxiways will be created and a new terminal will be constructed 600 feet closer to Grand Central Parkway.
Vice President Joe Biden helped Cuomo unveil the plan, a year after comparing it to a “third-world country,” according to NBC New York.
According to CNN, the renovations are expected to take 4-5 years, with the first redesigned portions being open to passengers in 2019.
