Dive Brief:
- New York City's LaGuardia Airport opened its second skybridge to passengers on Jan. 28, marking the final milestone of the nearly six-year renovation of Terminal B. The old airport was notorious for its poor condition; former Gov. Andrew Cuomo called it "outdated, overcrowded and unworthy of the Empire State."
- The Terminal B renovation is valued at $5.1 billion, including $4 billion in construction costs, and the project overall has a price tag of $8 billion. LaGuardia Gateway Partners (LGP), the public-private partnership that manages the project, is made up of Vantage Airport Group, Skanska, Meridiam and JLC Infrastructure. A Skanska-Walsh joint venture led design-build work, while HOK and WPS were responsible for architecture and engineering.
- The overall project is now about 95% complete, according to a spokesperson for LaGuardia Gateway Partners. The final piece of the original terminal must be demolished in order to open the remaining gates and the taxiway underneath the new western skybridge. Skanksa-Walsh is doing the remaining work.
