Washington Dulles Airport Board Approves $19.9 Billion Overhaul Plan
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority board approved a $19.9 billion plan to overhaul Washington Dulles International Airport, including the reconstruction of its main terminal and infrastructure upgrades. The project includes a $6.2 billion investment in reconstructing the primary terminal starting in late 2027. Additionally, $3.75 billion will be allocated for building new underground tunnels intended to replace the current People Mover vehicles that transport passengers across the tarmac. Construction of these tunnels and expansion into a new concourse is set to begin in early 2029 with completion expected by 2034. The overhaul aims to improve passenger experience, modernize infrastructure, and accommodate future growth at one of the key international gateways serving Washington D.C.
