More than $1 billion may be spent on the renovation of Dallas' Love Field.

A potential automated people mover that will connect Love Field to a planned Dallas Area Rapid Transit light-rail line just west of the airport could cost up to $250 million. The rest of the budget will be spent on new taxiways, aprons, drainage and other nonterminal improvements.

Currently underway is the $519 million project to replace Love Field’s terminal, which, when completed, will house 20 gates. Sixteen of those will be occupied by Southwest. The construction includes an area for taxi queuing farther from the terminal’s front doors and new maintenance facilities.

The airport will open a new eastern concourse for ExpressJet Inc. and Pinnacle Airlines Inc. in September.
