April 2011
The development of Adelaide Airport’s new multi-level car park and pedestrian plaza continues this month, with new road works underway to realign the airport’s road system to cater for the new development.
East-bound and west-bound traffic on James Schofield Drive will be affected from 6 April 2011, with temporary road diversions in place.
The Adelaide Airport multi-level car park and pedestrian plaza development commenced construction in February 2011, and the car park will open to the public in May 2012.
The $100 million project will more than double the size of the existing short-term car park, with five levels providing short-term parking for 2,000 public and car rental vehicles. The car park is expected to facilitate approximately 7,000 vehicle entries per day.
In addition to short-term parking, the new multi-level car park and pedestrian plaza will include facilities for rental cars, taxi pick-up, bus parking, food and beverage outlets and small retail outlets,
The car park will be positioned approximately 50 metres north-west of T1 (Terminal 1). The pedestrian plaza is between the new car park and T1, roughly the location of the existing short-term car park.
While it is not anticipated the road works will affect any access to the terminal at this time, travellers and visitors to the airport are encouraged to allow for extra travel time.
AAL will be doing everything it can during the construction period to minimise the impact on customers. However, given the nature of the project, it is inevitable there will at times be minor delays due to the traffic diversions, or if customers are directed to the temporary car park.
AAL will regularly update its website to advise of anticipated disruptions to assist our customers as much as possible – go to www.adelaideairport.com.au.
