A section of the lobby, baggage claim and an underground tunnel between the hourly parking deck and terminal will open to the public next week.
Travelers at Charlotte Douglas International Airport will soon get a sneak peek at the newly constructed lobby that's part of the ongoing expansion project.
A section of the lobby, baggage claim and underground tunnel between the hourly parking deck and terminal will open to the public next week. The terminal lobby expansion project started in November 2019 and will be finished in 2025.
When the area opens, passengers will enter through the blue-framed doors on the west side and see the future home for departures and ticketing.
Construction will continue on the east side of the terminal lobby, and renovations of the existing departures/ticketing and arrivals/baggage claim areas will kick off at the end of the month.
"It is still under construction. So while this phase is opening, there are still things that you'll see that aren't quite finished yet," Christine said. "Some of those will be finished by next week. Some of it will actually take us a little bit more time."
Eventually the current five security checkpoints will be consolidated to three larger ones, with one more lane than the airport has today and additional technology to increase capacity.
Downstairs, a new area is opening in baggage claim as construction walls go up to begin work on eight new baggage carousels.
The Queen's Courtyard, which will feature the Queen Charlotte statue, will be a space where people can await the arrival of their loved ones, complete with the airport's signature rocking chairs.
Down another level, a new underground tunnel featuring terrazzo flooring artwork will connect the terminal to the rental car space and hourly parking deck.
