The Eppley Airfield Terminal Entrance Drive Expansion redefines the traveler experience at Omaha’s airport, turning what was once a congested approach into a smooth, welcoming gateway to the city. For passengers, the difference is clear: safer crossings, easier circulation, and less time spent in traffic.

Behind that ease is a carefully engineered solution. Roadway capacity was expanded, curbs were removed, and a circulation system was designed to serve both today’s travelers and tomorrow’s growth. The work unfolded in eight meticulously planned stages, keeping the airport fully operational throughout—a remarkable achievement made possible by collaboration among the Omaha Airport Authority, the Federal Aviation Administration, and a wide team of partners.

At its center stands a new glass canopy, 894 panels strong, that both protects travelers and creates a striking first impression of Omaha. Crews braved overnight shifts and winter weather to ensure disruptions were minimal, keeping Eppley running smoothly even as the transformation took shape.

For nearly 40 years, Lamp Rynearson has partnered with the Omaha Airport Authority and the Federal Aviation Administration to advance projects that strengthen Eppley. This effort continues that legacy—delivering safety, efficiency, and a traveler experience that reflects Omaha’s spirit of hospitality and growth.
