SANTA ANA – The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday awarded a $101.8 million contract to Swinerton Builders for upgrades to John Wayne Airport.
The upgrades aim to bring the older terminals, A and B, in line with the enhancements designed into Terminal C and the parking structure that opened in 2011. A and B opened in 1990.
Construction is to begin next year and will continue through 2019. It includes carpet replacement, lighting renovation, restroom refurbishment and seismic retrofitting. A phased work schedule will reduce impacts on travelers and tenants, Supervisor Michelle Steel said in a news release.
Steel represents the second district, which includes the airport.
“We will work with Swinerton Builders to make sure passengers will be able to enjoy all of the upgrades we have planned with as little inconvenience as possible,” she said.
