Construction continues on the Build OMA Terminal Drive & Canopy Project to deliver an enhanced experience for travelers and add capacity to accommodate long-term growth for Eppley Airfield. This project will add an additional passenger drop-off lane, expand the ADA accessibility of the passenger drop-off and pick-up areas, and provide cover from weather elements. The next phase will require a temporary relocation of the passenger drop-off and pick-up areas. Beginning on Friday, Oct. 27, 2023, all passenger vehicles dropping off or picking up passengers will enter specific traffic lanes on Level 1 of the South Garage. Vehicles entering Level 1 of the South Garage will not be charged parking fees.
Until Spring 2025, drivers will see signage directing them to the correct lane of the South Garage where they will temporarily drop-off or pick-up passengers. Passengers will use crosswalks and the elevated walkways to move to and from the South Garage to the Terminal.
The four separate traffic routes will include:
- Passenger Departures (Drop-off)
- Passenger Arrivals (Pick-up)
- Ride App Vehicles (Uber/Lyft)
- Commercial vehicles (shuttles, taxis, buses and vehicles over 6’10”)
Work is expected to be complete on the $65 million Terminal Drive & Canopy Project in Spring 2025. The passenger drop-off/pick-up lanes will return curbside to the Terminal at that time.
