At an initial cost of US4.11 billion The Bradley West Project will provide greater capacity to the Tom Bradley International Terminal’s (TBIT) west side with the addition of 18 new boarding gates to accommodate new generation jumbo aircraft.

The project will position LAX to carry on its role as a leading international gateway to serve customers and new Airbus A380 super jumbo jets and Boeing 787 Dreamliners in the future.

The ‘Great Hall’ is being constructed with 140,000 square feet of premium dining, retail shopping, other passenger amenities and airline club lounges.

The projects is also planning to improve airport safety and security including US$1 billion being spent in direct and indirect improvements to passenger safety and security.

Further enhancements to improve passenger comfort and convenience include dual passenger loading bridges for faster boarding, an upgraded customs immigration inspection for more efficient passenger processing, secured corridors between Terminal 3, TBIT and Terminal 4 which allows connecting passengers easy transfers.

The Bradley West Project is expected to create 4,000 construction related jobs during the four year project schedule. TBIT will remain open for normal operation during construction which will mostly be phased for minimal impact to passengers.
