The new Terminal Drive is open at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG).
There is now one singular Terminal Road onto the CVG airport campus – from I-275 via KY 212 or KY 236/Donaldson Road.
Travelers entering airport property from either the highway or Donaldson Road are now directed onto the new roadway.
Terminal Drive hasn’t changed in about 30 years, so this will be a big change for motorists.
CVG is encouraging travelers to be aware of the new roadway traffic patterns and to take notice of directional signage to facilitate a smooth transition to the new route.
Driving lanes to enter the departures ramp, arrivals ramp, Terminal Garage and airport hotel are different.
The wide sweeping loop that supported former Terminals 1 and 2 was eliminated so the new roadway provides more direct access.

There is also a new route for all motorists using the Cell Phone Lot:
* I-275 via KY 212 – Exit off at Donaldson Ramp from KY 212. Turn right from Donaldson Ramp then left on Loomis Road. Follow signs to Cell Phone Lot.
* KY 236/Donaldson Road – after traveling underneath the KY 212 overpass, continue straight until left on Loomis Road. Follow signs to Cell Phone Lot.
New route for all traffic leaving cell phone lot and traveling to Terminal:
* Exit Cell Phone Lot in the rear. Take a right out of lot to right on Barkley Drive, left onto Loomis Road. Right onto Donaldson Road to right on ramp up to KY 212 and Terminal Road. Follow signs for Arrivals.
CVG continues to grow and enhance its facilities and infrastructure to better serve its many customers.
As CVG wraps up this portion of construction, site work on the rental car facility has begun and that facility will wrap up at the end of 2021.
