Question:
I’ve heard all about the construction on Airport Connector, but am still using it this week and it’s really not that bad. Where and when does all this congestion start?

Answer:
Here’s your where and when, Matt.
As of 10/22/09, just north of the Sunset exit ramp, you’ll see cones in the far right lane. You can either exit Sunset, or you need to merge left, and that is where you’ll feel the slowdown.

Many of you have e-mailed me that once you get north of the tunnel; the Airport Connector is moving along at the same pace as usual. Not for long.

The far right lane of the three lanes coming out of the tunnel, part of the airport bypass, will be closed within weeks, which will slow you down even more. Those lane closures will continue to extend north, where the majority of the construction will take place. That’s when the congestion will really make your commute rough.
