What's New with PDX Next (Week of January 5)

Construction Impacts to Expect: January 5 - 11

To help you plan for what’s ahead, we’re updating this section weekly. If you'd like to receive these updates right in your inbox, subscribe to the PDX People newsletter.

Bypass Closures: Starting Tuesday, Jan. 6, the B/C bypass will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. while crews conduct crane work above Concourse B. During these hours, an alternate exit route will be in place. The exit route will be open to all; however, entry into Concourse B via this route will be limited to Alaska/Horizon, Bags, Inc., and emergency responders.

On Thursday, Jan. 8, and Friday, Jan. 9, from 11:59 p.m. to 3 a.m., crews will use cranes to place materials on the roof. During this time, the north pedestrian bypass will be closed, and the Concourse E alternate exit route will be in use. This route is exit only and access to Concourse E is through Door E12002.

Ticket Island 3: Now through April, ticket island three will be closed while Alaska bag drop units are installed. During this time, airlines that use island 3 will move to other locations. For real-time ticket counter placements, check out the aisle signs – the big screen lists the airlines located in that aisle and, below that, a ticketing directory lists the aisles for all other airlines.

Baggage Claim Door Closure: As a reminder, part of the north baggage claim area will be a construction zone through mid-summer 2026, which means Door T1861 won’t be accessible for getting to the secured area from baggage claim. Instead, you can use the south door or central door in baggage claim, or the bypass doors on the ticketing level. For alternative access points and routes, see a full-size map.
