Delta Air Lines airplanes at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S., on Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2021. Airline passenger numbers in the U.S. totaled 2.12 million on Dec. 19, compared with 1.06 million the same wHighway 71 was recently expanded to include toll lanes. The idea of tearing it all down and relocating part of the roadway comes as a surprise to some who currently use it.
The comparison of the two airport projects does require some clarification. TxDOT would be responsible for relocating Hwy 71. Officials with the agency said doing that is not on any project list as of right now. Not even an environmental study has been done. The only proposed road relocation for the airport, right now, involves the drop-off and arrival lanes. They are to move away from the Barbara Jordan Terminal and align with a new check in building which is currently a parking garage.
Commuters like Paul Kenaus believe there are more important road projects around Austin. But he agrees airport gridlock can’t be ignored.
