Cincinnati’s airport will eliminate the sweeping circle loop drivers have navigated for years by building a direct road to the terminal from the access road to Interstate 275. The new road is part of a $165 million project to reshape the airport’s main entrance by building a rental car service hub by end of 2021. A new entry plaza will be built where the terminal meets an elevated stretch of the new road, according to a Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport news release. Road construction, already underway, is slated for completion in November, according to airport plans online. The focal point of the project remains the previously announced onemillion-square-foot Consolidated Rental Car Facility on 12 acres that will also be served by the new entrance road. Messer Construction plans to start construction on the rental car hub in June 2019, according to CVG. The new road will swing more directly into the airport in between the terminal and the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. The new road will pass between the airport’s terminal and the new rental car hub. A partial demolition of Terminal 2 Garage is happening this month to make way for the new elevated road and entry plaza, airport officials said. Less than 25 percent of the parking garage, the western portion closest to the hotel, will be demolished, according to CVG plans. “CVG is experiencing record-breaking growth, and with more passengers coming through our front door this project will improve access to the airport and elevate the passenger experience,” said Candace McGraw, CVG CEO, in a news release.
