Airline Terminal Lane Closures

AIRLINE TERMINAL LANE CLOSURES 
Deliveries and Construction Traffic on Airport Loop Road

SANTA BARBARA, CA – Beginning on Monday, October 24, 2011, as part of the Airline Terminal Project, the Airport will experience intermittent lane closures within the Airline Terminal loop road due to the construction of roadway and infrastructure improvements. These intermittent closures are scheduled to continue until the end of the project. Additionally, with the lane closures, all commercial vendor deliveries will take place on the passenger drop off lane. Visitors to the Airport are encouraged to use extra caution when driving in this area.  Travelers are encouraged to park in Long Term Parking Lot 2, off of Hollister Avenue and Frederick Lopez Road, and to use the free Airport Shuttle for easy access to and from the airline terminal.

The Airline Terminal Project is in its last phase of construction. The former airline terminal has been deconstructed leaving the original 7,000 square foot 1942 building. The building will be relocated to the site of the new airline terminal. The refurbished historic terminal will house the Airport Security Operations Center and parking lot operations. The new Short Term Parking Lot and airline terminal road will also be completed in this phase, all of which should be finalized by June 2012. 

There will be no interruptions to flight operations throughout this phase of the Airline Terminal Project.
