Due to the Terminal Roadway Improvements Project, traffic lanes in key areas have been reduced. Passengers should anticipate increased congestion and allow extra time when traveling.

To address potential congestion issues, Barbara London Drive is available as an alternative pick-up and drop-off area. Additional staff will manage active loading zones during peak travel days. Furthermore, the Transportation Security Administration will open earlier at 4:30 a.m., from December 22 through January 4.

Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the completed roadway project aims to improve vehicular flow and accessibility features compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Details are available at www.LGBRoadImprovements.com.

"Even with ongoing construction, Long Beach Airport stands out for its welcoming atmosphere," said Airport Director Cynthia Guidry. "We thank our passengers for their patience as we make improvements that will make our Airport even more convenient and easy."

For smooth travel experiences, LGB suggests arriving early for flights and utilizing alternative routes like Barbara London Drive.

Travelers should check airline baggage rules beforehand and pack appropriately per TSA guidelines found on their website. Those traveling with pets or service animals should verify airline policies in advance.
