Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is modernizing Los Angeles International Airport (LAX or “the Airport”) to improve passenger quality-of-service and provide world class facilities for its customers. Recent projects, either completed or underway at LAX, are transforming the Airport. These projects include the transformation of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) with the Bradley West project, a new Midfield Satellite Concourse west of TBIT, a new West Aircraft Maintenance Area, a new Central Utility Plant, lighting and wayfinding improvements to the passenger terminals, runway safety area improvements, renovation of Terminals 1, 5, 6, and 7, and the overhaul of all terminal concessions and retail/duty free shops. LAWA is also planning additional terminal improvements including providing secure connections between Terminals 1, 2, 3, and TBIT, as well as renovating Terminals 2 and 3. To further transform LAX into a modern airport and to address increasing levels of traffic congestion at and around LAX, LAWA is working to redevelop the ground access system to the Airport, which would include a seamless connection to the regional rail and transit system.

The proposed project consists of the relocation of Runway 7R/25L approximately 55 feet to the south and the construction of a new center parallel taxiway between the two south runways. These improvements were identified as part of the LAX Master Plan EIR certified by the Los Angeles City Council in December of 2004.
