| A Sneak Peek at DCA’s New Parking Deck
| If you’ve been passing through DCA’s Economy Lot lately, you might have noticed something rising on the horizon—a brand-new parking deck! Crews are hard at work, and passengers can already see the deck’s foundation, decking, and steel structures taking shape from nearby buildings. Inside, the team is busy installing electrical systems and customer amenities.
The garage will provide more parking flexibility when it opens in 2026.
As a reminder, parking in the Economy Lot is reduced during construction. It is highly recommended to reserve parking in advance to guarantee a space during this project. 🅿️ | Get Through Customs Faster
