One of six sets of escalators and stairs connecting Terminal B/C Ticketing to National Hall (concourse level), is permanently closed.
Delta and United passengers using the ticket counters can reach the security screening checkpoint from other escalators, stairs or elevators.
Details
An escalator and staircase between Delta and United's ticket counters and the security screening checkpoint are permanently closed.
Temporary walls block access to the top and bottom of the escalator and staircase during their removal.
Five remaining sets of escalators and stairs connecting the ticketing and concourse levels are available. Additionally, elevators are available.
The closure is to facilitate removal of escalators and stairs for the reconfiguration of National Hall as part of Project Journey.
Minimal impacts are expected.
Project Benefits
In 2021, National Hall will be reconfigured to a connected post-security terminalthat allows ticketed passengers to move freely between all gates in Terminals B and C.
When Project Journey is completed in 2021, two new 50,000-square-foot buildings with security checkpoints will replace three smaller checkpoints currently serving Terminal B/C – increasing the post-security space to include all of National Hall and its premier shops and restaurants for ticketed travelers. In addition, a new 14-gate concourse will replace Gate 35X – ending the need for travelers to ride buses to board regional jets parked outside. Concourse amenities will include jetbridges, holdrooms, concessions and an American Airlines Admirals Club lounge.
