Walter Roban, the Minister of Transport and Regulatory Affairs, toured the L.F. Wade International Airport redevelopment project yesterday.

The Deputy Premier met the Bermuda Airport Authority board and staff as he checked on the progress of the project.

At present, the new terminal’s foundation infrastructure is being constructed and 725 steel piles are being driven hundreds of feet into the ground.

The pile drive is just over 70 per cent complete and installation of the above ground terminal infrastructure will start later this year.

A new aircraft taxiway is also being constructed as part of the project.
