The Delaware River and Bay Authority will spend $6.6 million to improve and expand the Wilmington Airport terminal, according to its five-year capital investment plan.
That is one of 120 major improvement projects costing $132.7 million at the Delaware Memorial Bridge, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, the Forts Ferry, the Millville Executive Airport, the Cape May Airport, the Delaware Air Park and the Civil Air Terminal.
The most expensive project involves designing and building new ferries, budgeted at $109,130,000.
The two capital projects planned at Wilmington Airport, which include demolishing a nearby hotel, will delight the passengers of Avelo, an airline that expanded its routes out of Delaware twice last year.
Consumers may also notice two projects to improve the roadways near the Cape May Ferry terminal, plus restoration of the war memorial near the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
