The new Lafayette Regional Airport Terminal is taking shape along side the current small, aging airport. The steel framework is up and construction crews are working fast to hit the 24 month completion deadline.
The Lafayette Airport Commission, along with Congressman Clay Higgins, are seeking assistance from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in finding a solution to long security lines at the airport.
With construction on the new terminal set to begin in a few weeks the amassing of equipment and materials could make parking a little tighter than usual.
Traveling to or through Atlanta via air might be tougher than you think because of a power outage that left the nation's busiest airport in the dark for almost a day.
