Dulles Airport Officials Defer $1.5 Billion in Projects
With traffic down in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the agency that oversees Dulles International Airport has decided to defer indefinitely $1.5 billion of a planned $4.1-billion improvement program.
The finance committee of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority voted on April 17 to postpone a new midfield concourse and an underground rail link that was planned to run from the existing terminal to that building, says Tara Hamilton, an airports authority spokesperson.
