Today, Senator Thom Tillis announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded a $24 million grant to Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The grant aims to realign and widen key sections of the roadway in front of two terminals from two lanes to four lanes. This funding is part of the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Grant Program for fiscal year 2025 and is partially supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Senator Tillis was involved in negotiating, writing, and passing.
“This funding will ensure that RDU not only meets national standards but also continues to provide an exceptional experience for passengers,” said Senator Tillis. “As the Triangle region continues to grow, it is vital that we invest in our public transportation and infrastructure, including our airports. I am proud to have worked alongside local leaders to secure this critical funding.”
