FALL PARKING ALERT! As we experience large numbers of passengers as we begin Fall Breaks and the Holiday Travel Season, our Main Lot and Overflow lots are filling or are full. We continue to monitor our parking lots daily and will advise you where our largest capacity is – please check the construction sign at the entrance to see where we are directing you. If our lots are FULL, we will create supplemental parking and advise accordingly.

Beginning April 14, 2025, construction traffic will begin on Phase 1 of the new Air Traffic Control Tower.
Construction will take place for 1 year, immediately followed by Phase 2, which will take an additional year.
For the duration of the project, the main terminal drive will be reduced to one lane between the Old Tower and the merge to Dirksen Parkway. In this section of roadway, outbound traffic will use the left lane, and construction traffic will use the right lane. This is to allow consturction traffic access to the work site (as shown in the map below).
