PARKING LOT CLOSURE AT TERMINAL 1 – PLAN AHEAD FOR YOUR NEXT VISIT TO SAN

On Sunday, June 5, the Terminal 1 parking lot will close to incoming traffic at San Diego International Airport (SAN). All cars remaining in the lot will need to exit by June 14. As of June 15, the Terminal 1 parking lot will be permanently closed and all remaining vehicles will be towed, to allow for the start of construction of a new Parking Plaza scheduled to open in late 2024.
 
Allow extra time to arrive curbside and consider these options for getting to and from SAN:

• Use public transit to the airport. There are more ways than ever to get to and from the airport on public transit. Try the free San Diego Flyer shuttle, a convenient last-mile connection between the Old Town Transit Center and the airport. Or ride the MTS 992 bus from the airport to downtown for free this summer.
• Get dropped off/picked up. Have friends or family give you a ride. Taxi, Lyft, Uber, shuttles or other airport permitted commercial transportation options are also good alternatives. These drivers are very familiar with airport roadways and the latest construction impacts and can get you to and from the airport safely and efficiently.
• Make parking reservations ahead of time. Reservations can be made for the Terminal 2 Parking Plaza or valet. If parking in the Terminal 2 Parking Plaza but flying from Terminal 1, passengers can ride the Terminal Loop Shuttle to get between the two terminals efficiently. Make a reservation at SAN.org/Parking.

NEW CROSSWALK TO CONNECT TERMINAL 1 AS PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE CLOSES

On Wednesday, June 15, the pedestrian bridge that currently connects pedestrians from Terminal 1 to the T1 parking lot and the ground transportation island, will close permanently and be replaced by a new crosswalk in front of Terminal 1.

Please prepare for traffic congestion and delays when traveling to Terminal 1. SAN recommends that passengers arrive early for their flight and to use caution when traveling through the work area.

The New T1 project is replacing the current Terminal 1 with a modern and efficient facility, improving the access and travel experience at the San Diego International Airport. The first phase of the New T1 project is set to be completed in 2025 with the project’s full completion anticipated in late 2028.
