According to airport officials, the roadway will connect the economy garage, employee garage and rental car center on the airport’s south campus to the terminal on the north campus. It will be dedicated for shuttle traffic.
The project will cost around $84.5 million. $65 million of the total project was funded by the Federal Aviation Administration through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The new road will decrease wait times for passengers using shuttle services and serve as the foundation for future connectivity to the Baton Rouge to New Orleans railway.
Airport officials said each day, an average of up to 9,000 people use the shuttle buses to get back and forth between airport facilities. Currently, buses use public roads such as Veterans Boulevard and Bainbridge Road and pass through four traffic lights in each direction, creating delays and unpredictable travel times during peak periods.
Shuttle times can range between 14 to 18 minutes. Once the project is complete, shuttle times are estimated to be reduced by half to a range of 7 to 10 minutes.
The project is estimated to be completed by the end of 2027.
