Parking Improvements Begin July 29

We’re making improvements to airport parking to better serve our travelers. Construction begins Wednesday, July 29, starting with the Short-Term Parking Lot. If your vehicle is parked in the short-term lot after July 29, airport staff will relocate your vehicle to another designated airport parking area. During construction, you may notice:

  • Temporary parking lot closures
  • Changes to traffic patterns, pedestrian walkways and traffic directions
  • New directional signage to help guide you
  • Slightly longer travel times through the parking area

Please allow a few extra minutes when arriving, follow all posted signage, and use marked pedestrian walkways. Make note of the Parking Shuttle phone number on signs located throughout the long term parking lot and call the shuttle if you need a ride.

Questions? Call 309-663-7384 (during business hours) or 309-834-7396 (outside of business hours) or email CIRA@CIRA.com.
