Construction update

The 5 drop off lanes appear to be cul-de-sacs. I am clearly missing something here as I can't see how this will work.


A pedestrian route appears to be under construction but until the subway opens traffic will not only grind to a halt as cars try to exit each entrance to the drop off lanes but passengers will have to cross the ring road which ground to a standstill in I think 2016 when a temporary crossing was put in for the short term car park. The drop off area handles around 20 times the amount of passengers the short term car park did so I can't believe this is the solution so I will hold back judgment.


This gap will eventually be the subway.


This will be the raised road over the subway


Trenches don't normally interest me but this is no services trench, as the ground has also been removed around the foundations to the walkway. This ends up by the existing wall that fronts the terminal.
