The Future of RNO is More. #MoreRNO
The Southbound I-580 airport off-ramp will be closed April 6 through April 17, 2026, due to construction. Please use an alternate route to RNO and allow extra time to drive to the airport.
Construction near the airport terminal is affecting traffic patterns on the north and south ends of the Loop Road. Use caution through lane reductions and adjustments to the pedestrian walkways. Please watch your step and drive slowly.
The MoreRNO Program has entered the next phase of construction. Four projects are underway, the new concourses A and B (New Gen A&B), Central Utility Plant (CUP), Police and Airport Authority Headquarters (The HQ) and Ground Transportation Center (GTC), and the bulk of construction will land within the next two years. This is the largest infrastructure investment in the airport’s history. MoreRNO will bring more of what travelers love, including greater convenience, more amenities, local bites and brands, and spaces that showcase art and the natural beauty of Reno-Tahoe.
