New airport parking garage will be bigger than planned
Advertiser Staff
Parking at Honolulu International Airport should be getting a lot easier by the end of next year when the state expects to complete a new 1,800-stall garage — which is taller and has more stalls than the department envisioned last year.The state Department of Transportation announced that contractor Dick Pacific was selected to design and build the new garage, which is taller and has more stalls than the department envisioned last year.
The $39.2 million contract calls for the construction of a third airport garage to replace the 250-stall open-air parking lot located between the interisland and overseas terminals.
The new eight-story garage will connect to the interisland terminal garage on the top level with a two-lane traffic bridge and walkways, said Scott Ishikawa, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.
