Traffic Lanes in Front of Terminals 1 & 2 Closed Temporarily at OAK August 2, 2007

Travelers and other Oakland International Airport (OAK) users are advised of lane closures scheduled on airport roadways. The closed sections of roadway will be clearly marked, traffic enforcement will be maintained, and detour signs will redirect motorists.

Moderate delays are expected. From 12:01 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. on Friday, August 3, 2007, all through-traffic lanes adjacent to the first curb will be closed to allow contractors to install an overhead canopy.

After dropping-off and picking-up passengers at the first curb, motorists will be directed to exit the airport via traffic lanes adjacent to the second curb.

From 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 4, 2007, all vehicles and pedestrians will be routed to the fourth curb for drop-off, pick-up and through-traffic to allow contractors to install an overhead sign that spans the width of the terminal roadway. The closure will not affect pedestrian access on the first curb or between the terminals and public parking lots.

The construction activity is related to OAK's $300 million Terminal Improvement Program, which includes improvements to all airport roadways and curbsides. Begun in 2004, the Terminal Improvement Program is designed to add convenience, security and customer service to the travel experience by using "green building technolog

y. In Terminal 2, the program includes the recently opened seven-gate concourse, food court and shopping area, passenger screening and ticketing area, baggage claim and in-line explosives detection baggage screening system.

Once completed in 2008, the program will comfortably accommodate the needs of OAK's over 14 million annual passengers.

OAK has over 200 flights a day on 13 domestic and international carriers to 41 nonstop destinations, including Atlanta, Boston, Columbus, Fort Lauderdale, the Hawaiian Islands, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Mexico and seasonal service to the Azores (Portugal) and Sun Valley, Idaho.

OAK is a revenue division of the Port of Oakland, an independent department of the city of Oakland. Visit oaklandairport.com for more information.
