Delta and the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) have
released new renderings of the planned Delta Sky Way, on which construction
will begin in the fall at Los Angeles International Airport.
The release came in the wake of the LAWA board's recent
approval of the $1.86 billion project and during a press conference held by
Delta CEO Ed Bastian and Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti on Thursday.
The Sky Way will connect LAX terminals 2 and 3 to the Tom
Bradley International Terminal. However, the Sky Way project includes much more
than just the walkway. The seven-year effort also will involve a complete
reconstruction of Terminal 3, including new gates, upgraded retail space, new
signage and new restrooms, among other features.
The Delta Sky Way project is augmenting the city of Los
Angeles' $14 billion capital improvement program at LAX that has been ongoing
since 2008.
