What’s New with PDX Next: Oscar Road and Gate Closures, December Forum, Employee Parking
Baggage Claim: Baggage carousel 2 will close on Wednesday, Jan. 3, through the end of March, and a temporary wall will be in place around the carousel. During this time, Alaska Airlines will use carousels 3 and 6.
Additionally, the south TSA oversized drop-off location will move south of baggage carousel 2 between the Smarte Carte station and the Alaska baggage service office. In about a month, when the temporary wall footprint is reduced, it will move back to its current location on the other side of carousel 2.
South Oscar Road: South Oscar Road will close Tuesday, Dec. 26, until early August to facilitate construction of the new Central Baggage Resolution Area (CBRA). PAC and Port of Portland maintenance will use alternate routes during this closure. When the new TSA break room opens in January, crews will add signage along the routes to the break room to assist TSA staff.
Gate D6: Gate D6 will close Tuesday, Jan. 2, until early August for concrete work on the east end of the alley.
