Countywide : Airport Road Project Makes Parking Scarcer
Nearly a third of John Wayne Airport’s short-term parking lot in front of the passenger terminal will be permanently closed today due to construction of a new two-level road.
More than 300 of the lot’s 1,181 parking spaces will be displaced by the new road and its return loop extending south from the new, $48-million terminal now under construction.
Access to the parking lot will be available only at the southeast entrance on Campus Drive, airport officials said.
Additional parking is available at the Main Street lot north of the San Diego Freeway, between MacArthur Boulevard and Red Hill Avenue.
A new, three-level parking structure is scheduled to open near the new passenger terminal next month. At least 1,400 short-term parking spaces will then be available within walking distance of the existing terminal.
The new passenger terminal is scheduled to open April 1, 1990.
