The airport announced that new access into Terminal B started Oct. 20 with new right-hand exits from International Parkway, a new bridge to the terminal and associated roadway improvements.
The second phase of the construction will be right-hand access into Terminal A from International Parkway. Work is expected to stretch through the winter holiday travel period, according to a news release.
The specifics
Work on the roadway to Terminal B was completed two weeks ahead of schedule, and that allowed the work for Terminal A to start earlier, according to a news release.
Vehicles arriving from the south will bypass all left-hand exits into other terminals and take the new right-hand exit into the southbound right-hand entrance into Terminal B.
All exits out of Terminal B will be directed to the south exit plaza, but travelers who need to return northbound can make a left-hand U-turn before the exit plaza, according to a news release.
A closer look
A full detour for Terminal A started Oct. 24.
The first entrance into the parking garage at Terminal A is closed for the duration of Phase 2. The parking garage could be accessed through entrances on the lower-level roadway across from the terminals.
The flyover bridge for Terminal A was taken down between Oct. 24 to Oct. 28, replacing a bridge that is 50 years old and dated back to the opening of DFW Airport.
The 90-day window started after the demolition, meaning it would run through at least Jan. 26, 2026, weather permitting.
What else?
According to a news release, the northbound service road in front of Terminal A is closed. The temporary detour will be in effect when exiting the Terminal A curbside area. Traffic will be redirected south at crossunder No. 5.
Terminal A will only be accessible via the southbound entrance from International Parkway.
