Airport Way Roadwork: Last week, we told you about road work on NE Airport Way westbound. After significant traffic last Wednesday morning, we shifted the nightly roadwork schedule to 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. To accommodate for the shorter nightly schedule, we anticipate the roadwork will continue through Wednesday, July 30. In case you missed it, crews will be milling and paving the roadway as part of a rehabilitation project with lane closures, reduced speeds, and traffic diversions in effect. Flaggers and overhead signs will help manage traffic, and access to parking garages and rental car return will remain open throughout the work.

Wheelchair Access Pilot Program: We're testing new ways to improve curbside wheelchair access for departing passengers, and this pilot program aims to boost visibility of the assistance line, reduce unattended vehicles, and connect guests with wheelchair providers faster. Look for signage on the upper roadway and signage and seating just inside the entrance to the Departures level of the terminal on both the north and south ends. If you see someone in need, direct them inside to the seating area and call 503.460.4300 or use a white paging phone (press 6, then their airline).

Information Booths Reopen: The installation of new air handling units in baggage claim is nearly complete! Starting Friday, Aug. 1, both information booths will reopen, staffed by our helpful VIPs.
