Taking a flight from the Edmonton International Airport will now be smoother as the ramp leading to the departures terminal is set to reopen on October 31.
The ramp, on the airport’s Level 2, was closed in September 2023 to make way for important infrastructure upgrades. This led to the traffic closure and required relocation of the passenger pick-up and drop-off areas.
In a news release Wednesday, airport officials said that the enhanced Departures Roadway will be re-established as a complimentary drop-off area for passengers, and the Arrivals Roadway will return to function as a paid, short-term pick-up area.
Complimentary pick-up and alternative drop-off will also continue to be available at the pick-up & drop-off area that was established for the project east of the parkade.
The new ramp features aesthetic improvements, increased accessibility, added safety features such as safety bollards in front of the terminal and increased traffic flow by expanding the exit ramp from one to two lanes.
