Parking-deck project at Syracuse airport to begin Monday

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The first phase of a multi-year parking-deck rehabilitation project will begin Monday at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR).

In anticipation of the construction, the northernmost portion of each level of the parking deck have been closed, the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) said. The closures reduce the parking capacity of the parking deck by about 900 spots for the duration of the project.

The north entrance to the parking deck has also been temporarily closed for the length of the project. Travelers will still be able to enter the parking deck on the south side of the deck. Both the open parking lot and overflow lot (when needed) will be available to accommodate travelers.

Additionally, the north passenger bridge from the parking deck to the terminal building will be closed, as well as all stairwells on the north side of the parking deck. Passengers are asked to follow signage to navigate between the parking deck and terminal building, SRAA said.

“Although we understand that this is an inconvenience, it’s necessary routine maintenance that needs to be performed during the short construction season we experience here in Upstate New York,” Jason Terreri, executive director of Syracuse Hancock International Airport, said in a statement. “We appreciate the traveling public’s understanding and patience. Our goal is to have this phase of the project completed for the holiday season.”

Departing travelers are encouraged to arrive two hours prior to their scheduled departure. Doing so “will ensure a comfortable amount of time” to find a parking spot, check-in with your airline, and pass through the security checkpoint.
