Environmental checklist: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) Widen Arrivals Drive

The Port of Seattle filed an environmental checklist in May 2021 for a project to widen Arrivals Drive at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) from two lanes to four lanes, aiming to reduce congestion and improve safety for passengers and ground transportation vehicles. Construction was planned to begin in mid-2023 and last approximately 18 months, involving road realignments, updated stormwater drainage, new LED lighting, and utility relocations. The project was designed as a standalone improvement but coordinated with broader airport master plan efforts to accommodate potential future infrastructure expansions at SEA.
