Next 90-day Phase of Construction to Complete New Access into Terminal A Scheduled to Begin This Week
DFW AIRPORT, Texas (Oct. 20, 2025)
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) today opened the final configuration of the new access into Terminal B, which includes new right-hand exits from International Parkway, a new bridge into the terminal and all associated roadway infrastructure to support the improved access. This marks the completion of the first of three final 90-day construction phases to complete the new bridges and right-hand access into Terminal A, B and C as part of the International Parkway Project.
This first phase to open the new access into Terminal B was completed two weeks ahead of schedule, allowing the airport to advance the start of the next phase to complete the new bridge into Terminal A. With construction crews quickly transitioning to Terminal A this week, initial detours are in effect with the full detour into Terminal A scheduled to begin this Friday, Oct. 24. This next phase of construction will progress through the winter holiday travel period as the airport, and its partners, work to complete the project ahead of next summer.
With updated traffic flow into Terminal B and new detours in place, customers will be guided by new signage and visual cues along all routes.
Now Open: New Right-hand Access into Terminal B
Beginning today, all customers accessing Terminal B will take new right-hand exits from International Parkway. Customers arriving from the south will bypass all left-hand exits into other terminals, then take the new right-hand exit to be redirected into the southbound right-hand entrance into Terminal B.
A detailed illustration and video of the new access is included below under Media Resources.
Exiting Terminal B: All Traffic Detoured to South Exit
For the duration of this next 90-day phase, all customers exiting Terminal B will be directed to the South Exit to merge with southbound traffic on International Parkway. Customers seeking a northbound exit from the terminal area can take the left-hand U-turn before the South Exit Plaza to return northbound on International Parkway.
Terminal A Garage: All Parking Redirected to Lower-level Entrances
The first entrance into the parking garage at Terminal A is closed for the duration of the construction period. Customers can access the parking garage via additional entrances on the lower-level roadway across from the terminal curb.
Additional Detours Scheduled to Begin Friday for Terminal A Bridge Demolition
Additional detours are scheduled to begin Oct. 24 to support demolition of the existing flyover bridge into Terminal A, followed by construction of the new bridge. Demolition is expected to last through early morning on Tuesday, Oct. 28 and will require the closure of northbound Service Road and a temporary detour when exiting the Terminal A curbside area. Additionally, demolition will mark the beginning of the next 90-day detour into Terminal A.
