Secondly, there will be the following changes to the Cell Phone Lot:
-
The lot will temporarily move behind the John Glenn International sign on International Gateway, near the Rental Car Center.
-
Vehicles can enter the lot from both the east and west directions on International Gateway but will exit heading east only.
-
Drivers can wait in the Green Lot across Stelzer Road. Airport officials said the lot now offers a one-hour grace period, allowing people to exit free of charge within an hour of entry.
The charges are due to the construction project to create a new terminal at the airport. As our news partners at WBNS in Columbus reported, the project is estimated to cost $2 billion.
The new terminal, which will add seven gates, is expected to be completed in 2029.
