The free cell phone lot at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has been temporarily relocated to 9340 Rental Car Lane, Austin, while the original site at 2801 Spirit of Texas Drive, Austin, is enhanced with a new convenient store, gas station and children's play area.

"The lot is going to be at [the temporary] location until construction is completed," said Jim Halbrook, Austin Aviation Department’s public information and marketing program manager.

The cell phone lot provides drivers with a place to wait for a call from passengers before picking them up at the terminal, according to a press release by the city of Austin.

The temporary location more than doubles the amount of space available for cell lot users to 190. It also offers vending machines and a grassy area at the entrance with bags and a trash can for those who need to walk their dogs, Halbrook said. They will also be installing displays with updated flight information soon, he said.

Renovations at the original lot are expected to be completed by the end of 2017, Halbrook said.
