Long Beach, CA – Long Beach Airport (LGB) officials today marked the completion of the Airport’s Terminal Roadway Improvements Project, which has resulted in improved vehicular and passenger flow and additional enhancements for those with mobility challenges.

“Our award-winning Long Beach Airport is making it even easier for travelers to get on their way with these roadway upgrades,” said Mayor Rex Richardson. “For more than a century, LGB has been committed to smooth travels, and the completion of this critical road work ensures an even more seamless and convenient experience.”

Underway since January 2024, the Terminal Roadway Improvements Project provides Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) enhancements, including more curb space, crosswalks, ramps, signage, handrails and lighting in front of the main drop-off and pick-up area. These enhancements will improve traffic flow and make the area safer and more easily navigable for pedestrians. Some underground work was also done to upgrade several utilities, including sewer lines connected to the Historic Terminal.

“The Airport’s continued investment in modern infrastructure is delivering real benefits,” said Fifth District Councilwoman Megan Kerr. “With these terminal roadway upgrades, we are excited to see travelers experience better traffic flow and improved pedestrian access.”

The total cost of the project was $16.6 million, with $10.6 million funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and the remainder funded by Airport revenue.

“At Long Beach Airport, we like to say ‘the going is easy’—and now, it’s even easier,” said Airport Director Cynthia Guidry. “With these roadway improvements complete, travelers can enjoy even more convenience from curb to gate.”

Officially trademarked as america’s coolest airport™, LGB provides a distinctively stress-free journey and a first-class customer experience conveniently located at a central position between Los Angeles and Orange counties. Air carriers such as Southwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Hawaiian Airlines currently offer service to 22 nonstop destinations and one-stop service to nearly 400 cities around the globe.
