Syracuse, N.Y. -- Nearly 1,000 parking spots at Syracuse Hancock International Airport’s parking garage have been blocked off in advance of the first phase of a multiyear rehabilitation project scheduled to begin Monday.

The northernmost portion of each of the four levels of the 3,110-space garage deck has been closed, reducing the parking capacity of the parking deck by approximately 900 spots for the duration of the first phase, airport officials said. The first phase of the rehabilitation work is expected to be completed by the holidays, they said.

The airport’s open parking lot and, when needed, its overflow lot will be available to accommodate travelers. The north entrance to the parking deck has also been temporarily closed. Travelers can still enter the garage via its south entrance.

Additionally, the north passenger bridge from the parking deck to the terminal building will be closed, as well as all stairwells on the north side of the parking deck. Airport officials are asking passengers to follow signage to navigate between the parking deck and terminal building.

“Although we understand that this is an inconvenience, it’s necessary routine maintenance that needs to be performed during the short construction season we experience here in Upstate New York,” said airport Executive Director Jason Terreri. “We appreciate the traveling public’s understanding and patience. Our goal is to have this phase of the project completed for the holiday season.”
