BWI Airport moves forward with $452M improvement project

Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is moving ahead on the largest capital project in its history, with a $332 million construction contract up for approval by the state’s spending board next week. The multi-year project, which was delayed amid the pandemic, will renovate and expand the connector between concourses A and B, add new passenger amenities including food and retail concessions and new restrooms, install a new baggage handling system and create larger gate areas to accommodate the bigger airplanes being flown by Southwest Airlines, the airport’s largest carrier.
