St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE) Main Entry/Traffic Light Relocation

As a result of the Gateway Express Project by the Florida Department of Transportation, the Main Entrance and Traffic Light to enter/exit St. Pete-Clearwater Airport will be relocated beginning February 28th.

 Parking and Roadway Impacts

  • The entrance, exit and roadways to PIE’s parking lots and facilities will be moved. Please note the following key impacts:
  • The Main Traffic Light and Entry/Exit from the Airport is being relocated by the Air Traffic Control Tower.
  • Direct access from 46th Street to Airport Parkway will no longer be available. Visitors must use the main entrance to the airport at the new traffic light.
  • For access to Key Lime PIE Economy Parking Lot and Airport Employee Parking Lots turn onto 144th Ave.
  • The Strawberry PIE Economy Parking Lot will only be accessible on PIE’s internal roadways by taking Airport Parkway to Fairchild Drive.

Please plan extra travel time to accommodate construction in and around the airport. Parking Lot shuttles may have longer wait and route times to get to/from economy parking lots to the terminal.

Additionally, PIE’s Ground Transportation Lot closed February 11th for approximately 30-60 days as part of the ongoing Airport Parking and Roadway Project. Airport ground transportation and hotel, super shuttle and off-site rental car shuttle providers will pick-up passengers in front of the terminal.

Beginning February 18th, PIE’s Short-term Parking Lot closed for approximately six months. Visitors are encouraged to use the cell phone lot for awaiting passenger pick-up or the long-term parking lot.

For airport information, call 727-453-7800.
