In second quarter of 2022, expected projects on the ConRAC include:
Continued construction of the customer service buildings in the Ready Return/Idle Storage building.
Expected completion of the Ready Return/Idle Storage building’s façade coverings.
Continued installation of elevators and escalators.
Start of landscaping with installation of trees at the Ready Return/Idle Storage building customer service plaza.
The facility is one of the major components of LAX’s $5.5 billion Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP), which will improve access to LAX, provide new pick-up/drop-off options for travelers, and provide the long-awaited connection to regional transportation.
