Title

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Crossfield Taxiway Project

Description

NOTE: Tiered from SCH#1997061047 As one of the airfield improvements included in the LAX Master Plan, the LAX CFTP encompasses improvements to a portion of the existing taxiway system that supports aircraft access between the north runway complex (i.e. Runways 6L/24R and 6R/24L) and the south runway complex (i.e. Runways 7L/25R and 7R/25L). In particular, the proposed project would provide a new crossfield taxiway, identified as Taxiway C13, and an associated connection to, and extension of, the existing Taxiway D. In addition, a new parallel service road along Taxiway C13 would be built and the existing aircraft rescue and fire fighting facility (ARFF) would also be constructed as part of the project. The subject taxiway improvements are proposed in light of airfield congestion that occurs periodically at the near the existing midfield taxiways relative to movement of aircraft on the ground, and also reflect the phased implementation of improvements that are included in the approved LAX Master Plan. The proposed ARFF would replace an existing station that is severely undersized and, similar to the taxiway improvements, would be developed consistent with the phased implementation of the LAX Master Plan.
