Installation will begin Tuesday, November 14, along State Street from Victoria to Anapamu Streets (1200 block) and will be completed over the next few weeks, weather permitting.

Due to ongoing construction, passengers utilizing the Airport’s rental car services will encounter a new, temporary route to pick up and drop off vehicles beginning Wednesday, November 15.

Please plan accordingly when considering the timing of your travel.
