Those who use the walking lot for short-term parking are encouraged to use the airport’s valet service or parking garage.
Parking is also available in the Red and Green Shuttle Lots.
“This change is part of the exciting progress happening across the airport — bringing us closer to a new terminal, and opening day," officials wrote in a social media post.
The new public safety building is part of CMH Next, a $2 million transformation at the airport. It will include offices, training facilities, and the public safety communications center.
CMH Next also includes the construction of a new, nearly 1-million-square-foot terminal and a new 5,000+ space parking garage connected to the terminal by a pedestrian bridge.
The new terminal is expected to open in early 2029.
