President Donald Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, plans for a major renovation project at Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C. The project, valued at over $20 billion, includes the construction of a new underground system to connect the airport terminals. This plan will eliminate the airport’s well-known people movers, also known as mobile lounges, which have faced scrutiny following a crash incident last year that injured more than a dozen people.
The announcement comes amid broader attention to renovation efforts under the Trump administration, including projects at the White House and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
