According to Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), completed tasks include continued installation of elevators and escalators, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work for Ready Return/Idle Storage and Quick Turn Around buildings, continued work at the bus plaza area, and completion of the Ready Return/Idle Storage building north and south speed ramps and Quick Turn Around building ramps and bridges.

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.
