Whether it’s massive holiday crowds or a “historic magnitude of construction,” getting to DFW Airport can be tough.
A bridge from Terminal A into Terminal B is causing lane closures and traffic redirection. Travelers can only access Terminal A from the southbound entrance. And when exiting Terminal B, travelers can only exit to the southbound exit.
The best thing travelers can do is plan ahead — and that may include taking the train directly to the airport instead of driving or using a ride-share service like Uber or Lyft. Here are a few options for those traveling to DFW Airport.

These train options arrive at specific terminals in the airport that may not coincide with one’s departure terminal. So, travelers can take the airport shuttle (outside of security with rides every 10 minutes) or the Skylink (inside terminals every two minutes) to their departure terminal. Shuttle and Skylink require no ticket.
DFW customers can also access real-time information on parking, security wait times and construction updates through the DFW app.
