VIPA announced last month that this project would start in March and parking at the Cyril E. King Airport will be limited during construction.\u00a0 Travelers have been advised to be dropped off and picked up when traveling.\u00a0 Curbside parking is not allowed at the airport when dropping off or picking up passengers.\u00a0 Signs are posted at the terminal advising of the new parking restrictions.\u00a0 Motorists are asked to adhere to the no parking signs as violators will be towed and booted at their own expense.<\/p>\n<p>VIPA Executive Director Carlton Dowe said that the Authority is aware that the limited parking at CEKA during the construction will be an inconvenience to the public. \u201cWe are asking for the public\u2019s patience during this temporary arrangement.\u00a0 After the Parking and Transportation Center is completed, we will be table to relocate the car rental agencies and begin the much-needed expansion of the 30-year-old CEKA Terminal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Parking and Transportation Center will have 600\u00a0parking spaces and a dedicated location for ground transportation and car rental operations.\u00a0 The $26.8\u00a0million project is\u00a0funded via a $20M grant from the US Department of Commerce-Economic Development Administration in 2019. VIPA will provide a $6.8 million local match.\u00a0 AT Construction was awarded the construction contract via a competitive bidding process.<\/p>\n<p>VIPA will continue to provide project updates via its website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.viport.com\">www.viport.com<\/a>, its social media accounts, and through press releases and radio announcements.\u00a0 The Authority\u2019s management thanks the public for their patience as VIPA works to develop its port infrastructure to improve and modernize the travel experience in the U.S. Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 5, 2021 &nbsp; CEKA Parking and Transportation Center Rendering &nbsp; Phase 1 of King Airport Parking Garage Construction Starts Monday &nbsp; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands &#8211; Construction of the Cyril E.
