Miami International Airport Improvements to Cost $5.4 Bil

MIAMI-This city's airport, recently rated by passengers as one of the country's worst, will be completely overhauled by 2007 in the most expensive single construction project ever undertaken in Florida. The work is under way.

The upgrade, already under way, will provide wider corridors, brighter lighting, a greater variety of stores and restaurants, an expanded hotel, an additional concourse, easier access to parking and baggage delivery and a central car rental facility connected to the terminal via an automated people mover.

Miami-Dade County officials justify the renovation expense by pointing out the airport creates one out of every six area jobs, either directly or indirectly.
