WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a USD 22.5 billion renovation of Washington Dulles International Airport that will end the use of the widely disliked “people movers”, the mobile lounges that have been used for decades to shuttle travellers to and from the main terminal.
In place of the people movers, the airport will add a new U-shaped passenger train, a central walking tunnel, more moving walkways and new concourses.
An above-ground parking garage closer to the main terminal with space for 32,000 vehicles is also in the offing, according to Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
The airport makeover would add to a long list of renovation projects the Republican president is pursuing to leave a lasting mark on the Washington region after his term ends in January 2029.
Among other undertakings, he is building a new White House ballroom and wants to build a towering triumphal arch near the Lincoln Memorial.
