Demolition of Concourse A has begun. The space will be cleared to prepare several key future construction sites as part of the Terminal Modernization and Seismic Project (TMSP).
Construction for Memphis International Airport’s Terminal Modernization and Seismic Program (TMSP) project affecting the upper inner departures lane has been completed and the B crosswalk was reopened on Friday, June 20.
The new administration building design continues to come into focus in these new renderings released by MSCAA design partner, Alliiance. Upgraded finishes highlight the modern interiors that will provide visitors and employees with a stunning, light-filled space for both working and meeting.
As part of the TMSP program’s outer commercial drive upgrade, the transit tunnel underneath the drive must be filled in to meet seismic standards. Progress continues on the filling and expected to be completed by August.
Ongoing construction for Memphis International Airport’s Terminal Modernization and Seismic Program (TMSP) project will affect pedestrian crosswalk access and departure level entrances beginning Wednesday, June 4. Starting June 4, pedestrians entering the airport from the departures/ticketing level will need to utilize the crosswalks at the A and C terminals to enter the terminal.
The long-dormant transit tunnel that lies two levels beneath the outer commercial drive will soon seal a piece of MEM history.
Beginning May 1, the airline ticketing counters for Allegiant, Frontier Airlines, and Breeze Airways will be moving to Terminal B. Wayfinding signage around the airport will be in place to guide travelers. Additionally, MEM employees and volunteers will continue to be positioned throughout the terminals to assist passengers.
At the March 20 meeting of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA) Board of Commissioners meeting, design consultants UrbanArch and Alliiance provided an update on Memphis International Airport’s Terminal Modernization and Seismic Program (TMSP).
Work on the interim commercial drive is underway on the lower outer drive. The project is expected to be completed in April 2025. To accommodate the construction, coach buses have been moved from the upper/outer drive to the upper/inner drive. Shuttle buses and limos have been relocated from the lower/outer drive to the lower/middle drive.
From Monday, August 18 through Friday, August 22, the B pedestrian crosswalk on the lower drive (baggage claim level) will be TEMPORARILY CLOSED.
Detour signs will direct passengers to the A or C crosswalks for pedestrian access between the three-story parking garage and the terminal.
