The money, which will come through the Federal Aviation Administration, will be used to upgrade pavements on the aircraft ramp and taxi lane between concourses C and D at the at airport, according to a statement from Gov. Martin O’Malley’s office.
The entire airport project to reconstruct what are known as the aprons for concourses C and D will cost $58 million.
“This important investment will help to rebuild the fundamental airfield infrastructure of BWI Marshall Airport, helping to keep it modern and efficient, and will support and create important jobs,” O’Malley said in a prepared statement.
The project is expected to employ about 200 people both directly and indirectly.
