Airport trying to ease parking crunch during construction

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Eppley Airfield officials have made changes to ease the parking crunch during construction of another parking garage.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that the existing rental car parking garage will be demolished next spring, making way for a six-story parking garage with 3,000 parking stalls. Of those, 900 will be for rental cars. The existing rental car garage has 519 public spaces and 555 spots for rental cars.

During construction, rental cars will be relocated to a new parking lot nearby. A shuttle will take customers to the temporary facilities.

The construction project doesn't affect the airport's main parking garage, but a parking guidance system has been installed to show drivers the available spots on each of the six floors in the garage.
