Bradley Airport adding more parking

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (WFSB) - Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks said it is taking steps to add more parking.

The Connecticut Airport Authority announced on Monday that construction is underway on “surface lot 3,” which is on Schoephoester Road.

The CAA said the project will add more than 1,500 parking spaces, which increases the parking at the airport by 20 percent.

The lot expansion was made possible by the relocation of rental car services and a move of Postal Road.

“The Connecticut Airport Authority has intentionally prioritized parking strategy for Bradley International Airport, and that investment is making a meaningful impact,” said Michael Shea, executive director and CEO of the Connecticut Airport Authority. “We are seeing increased demand for our parking product, BDL sPARK. More importantly, the upgrades that have been undertaken improve the passenger journey while the resulting revenue growth helps us keep operating costs low for our airline partners.”

The construction is expected to be finished in the winter.
