Frequently Asked Questions
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
The Central Pedestrian Skywalk is designed to improve convenience and accessibility between our parking and rental car facilities and the new Terminal. The new connection will allow passengers to conveniently walk directly from Level 3 of the South Garage to Level 2 of the Central Pavilion and the entrance to the new centralized security checkpoint.
HOW WILL THIS IMPACT MY TRAVEL DAY?
During construction, modifications to pedestrian routes on Level 1 between passenger pickup/drop off and the Terminal are anticipated. These may include changes to sidewalks and crosswalks. Directional signage will guide travelers through the affected area.
Parking space modifications on Levels 2 through 6 of the South Garage are also anticipated to accommodate construction of the new elevators.
WHEN WILL THIS PROJECT BE COMPLETE?
Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2026 and is expected to conclude in 2028.
