More Parking is Coming to Reagan National

Due to the high demand for parking at Reagan National, we are adding over 1400 spaces to the airport's existing parking garages by building an additional level.  The project will be built in phases in order to minimize the temporary loss of parking space while construction is underway.  This web page will be updated with new information as the project moves forward.

SECOND PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION IS NOW UNDERWAY:

A 349-space parking area (shown in yellow) has closed so the second phase of the garage expansion can proceed. Many of the spaces (shown in blue) which were closed during Phase 1 are re-opened for parking.

Parking will remain available outside the closed area and on the other levels of the Garage.  Watch for detours within the garage which will be noted by signage.

A Satellite parking lot will be available for overflow parking if needed during the parking garage construction.


TRAFFIC PATTERN CHANGES ARE NOW IN EFFECT FOR THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT:

  • The Airport Entrance Roadway from the southbound George Washington Memorial Parkway will be reduced to one lane.  There is a second entrance ramp to the airport about a half mile further along the southbound Parkway.  The second entrance ramp bypasses much of the construction area.
  • The left lane of this roadway is closed (2 thru lanes are open) as you pass the parking garage.
  • The "Return to Airport" ramp exiting Garage B/C is now rerouted.  Follow posted signs.

Project Phases and Milestones

The project is now underway.  Here is a description of the project's initial phases:

 DCA_garage_chkbox.jpg Set up construction equipment near the parking garage.  Vehicle traffic flow will be maintained but some lanes will be closed or realigned along the roadways adjacent to the garages.
 DCA_garage_chkbox.jpg Phase 1: Construct the first section of the new, top level of parking on Garage B/C which adds 72 new spaces to the total capacity of the Garage. Completed September 2008
 DCA_garage_chkbox.jpg Temporarily close 349 daily spaces on level 4 of Garage B/C and construct Phase 2 of the project.
