OREANDA-NEWS. Drivers can expect delays near Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Rental Car and Airport Loop roads beginning 7 a.m. on Monday, October 28, running through Monday, November 4. Portions of these roads will be temporarily closed due to on-going construction of the Airport's new entrance road.

Drivers will not be able to access Airport Loop Road from Rental Car Road during this time. Signs, barricades and barrels will be in place; however, drivers should avoid the impacted area. To help ease congestion, the Daily North parking lot will be closed.

This temporary closure is in addition to continuing construction on Little Rock and Old Dowd roads that began last month.

The Airport's new entrance road will improve connections from Wilkinson Boulevard and Josh Birmingham Parkway to the terminal. It is scheduled to open in fall 2014. An inbound lane on Josh Birmingham Parkway to the terminal, however, could open in December, creating a more direct path to the Airport.
