Restroom Closures: Over the next few weeks, work will take place in the family restroom and lactation rooms on the south mezzanine level, as well as in the north and south all-user restrooms, both pre- and post-security.

As part of this work, the north post-security all-user restrooms will be closed for final repairs and finishing touches from Monday, June 22, through Friday, June 26. The north pre-security all-user restrooms will be closed from Monday, June 29, through Thursday, July 2.

Revolving Door Closure: Now through early October, the south revolving door on the ticketing level will be closed while it is being replaced.

North Skybridge Escalators: The north skybridge escalators are closed until early November; signage in the garages directs passengers to the tunnel. Elevators will remain open throughout this work.

Baggage claim: Baggage claim is getting a refresh with brighter lighting, a finished ceiling, Wi-Fi upgrades, fresh paint, and restroom improvements. While we make these improvements, you’ll notice a few changes to the usual routes. Note: Construction timelines can change depending on many factors, so dates may shift.

What’s closed or closing in the future: 

  • Carousels 7 and 8
  • Escalator to north skybridge
  • Escalator to south tunnel will close in October

For easy access from the ticketing level, use:

  • North escalators → Carousels 9 and 10
  • South escalators → Carousels 2 – 6

When the south tunnel escalators close, well keep you informed of the route changes. In the meantime, you’ll see signage to help guide passengers, as well as employees and volunteers to help direct folks. On the ticketing level, there will be temporary signage showing baggage carousel assignments.
