Raleigh-Durham International Airport adds 500 new parking spots to Park Economy 3 lot

MORRISVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) — Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) will have about 500 new parking spots starting on Monday.

The airport is gradually tripling the size of its Park Economy 3 lot off Aviation Parkway. Nearly 1,700 new spaces opened in June, and more will come in stages until the lot has about 11,000 spaces next summer.

The parking space includes a lot of new featured like covered walkways, electric vehicle charges, and what RDU calls a ‘customer amenity building’ with bathrooms and vending machines.

The expansion will cost an estimated $164 million in total.
