Travelers heading to and from DFW International Airport should prepare for changes in traffic patterns due to ongoing construction. The airport has announced that several road closures and lane reductions will be implemented over the coming days, affecting both travelers and local traffic. This infrastructure project aims to enhance future access to Terminals A, B, and C, with adjustments made to minimize disruption during off-peak hours.
In the heart of a significant infrastructure upgrade, DFW Airport is currently undergoing construction work that will temporarily alter traffic flow. From Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon, South International Parkway will experience lane reductions, impacting southbound traffic. Authorities advise travelers arriving from the south to plan extra time for their journey. For other affected areas, detours will be clearly marked to assist drivers navigating the changes.
The Terminal A South Exit will be closed on Monday night starting at 7 p.m., reopening at 2 a.m. on Tuesday. During this period, all passengers using Terminal A will be directed to the North Exit. Drivers can choose to exit via the North Exit Plaza or make a U-turn to rejoin South International Parkway.
Similarly, the Terminal B North Exit will close at 7 p.m. on Monday and remain closed until 7 a.m. on Tuesday, January 28th. Following this, the Terminal B South Exit will close at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, January 28th, and reopen at 5 a.m. on Wednesday, January 29th. Additionally, Southbound International Parkway will see lane reductions starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, January 28th, lasting until 1 p.m. on Wednesday, January 29th.
These closures are part of a larger project aimed at installing structural beams for the new bridge leading into Terminal B, while also converting access points to right-hand exits. The phased approach ensures minimal impact on travelers during less busy periods.
From a traveler's perspective, it’s crucial to stay informed about these changes and allow additional time for travel. Planning ahead and following recommended routes will help ensure a smoother experience during this transitional period. While temporary inconveniences may arise, the long-term improvements will ultimately benefit all airport users.
