The Californer/10310768

Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach Airport (LGB) officials celebrated the completion of the Terminal Roadway Improvements Project today, which has resulted in improved vehicular and passenger flow and additional enhancements for those with mobility challenges.

The project, which began in January 2024, includes Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) enhancements such as more curb space, crosswalks, ramps, signage, handrails and lighting in front of the main drop-off and pick-up area. These upgrades will not only improve traffic flow but also make the area safer and more easily navigable for pedestrians. In addition, some underground work was done to upgrade several utilities, including sewer lines connected to the Historic Terminal.

Mayor Rex Richardson expressed his excitement about the completed project, stating that it will make it even easier for travelers to get on their way. He also highlighted LGB's commitment to providing a smooth travel experience for over a century.
