The transformation is underway at ILM! ✈️ 🚧

🌊The new “wave” overhead canopy is taking shape above the terminal curb front, providing coverage for the pick-up and drop-off lanes. The project will also increase curb capacity and passenger access, with an extended departures/arrivals curb, a dedicated commercial drop-off curb for taxis and rideshare services, and canopies connecting the terminal to the crosswalks leading to the parking area.🚗

🚶Framework is also going up for the new pedestrian tunnel that will connect the parking area directly to the main terminal. Along with making the connection more convenient, ILM is expanding parking with additional surface spaces, new covered spaces within the parking garage, and a covered area for rental car pick-ups and returns.🅿️

Take a look at the latest progress, and stay tuned as these projects continue to come together! ✈️
