Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport Directions
The Midfield Terminal Parking Structure is an 89-acre (36-hectare) 10-level facility, which opened in February 2002. It
is one of the largest parking structures in the world. It includes a ground transportation center, pedestrian bridge,
two luggage check-in locations, conveyors and bridges to transport luggage, six restrooms, three offices for parking
officials, and two electrical substations. The structure can park 11,489 cars in seven user groups. Parking for the L.C.
Smith Terminal (and the North Terminal in the future) is offered in a garage known as the Big Blue Deck.
The airport is accessible from I-94, which is the closest entrance to the Berry and Smith Terminals. The McNamara
Terminal is immediately accessible from I-275. John D. Dingell Drive (named after John D. Dingell) is an expressway that
runs from I-94 to Eureka Road. This expressway was built in 1999 for access to the McNamara Terminal. Many other local
roads(including Goddard Road, Northline Road, Ecorse Road, Middlebelt Road, Merriman Road, and Wick Road) all have access
to the airport and its surrounding property.
Major rental car companies such as Alamo, Enterprise, and Hertz serve the airport. Taxi and limousine service is provided
by local companies which include Metro Airport Taxis and Metro Cars which includes the company Checker Sedan.
The Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) provides bus routes 125 (Westbound) and 285
(Northbound), one per hour, that connect the airport with the rest of Metro Detroit. There is a continuous curbside
shuttle that connects the Smith and Berry Terminals with the McNamara Terminal.
The McNamara and Smith terminals also have cell phone lanes. The Smith Terminal cell phone lane is located in front
of the "Big Blue Deck" and the McNamara Terminal cell phone lane is located on Dingell Road near I-275. Both lanes are
clearly marked and unattended vehicles are prohibited.
Michigan Flyer provides bus service between the airport and Lansing, East Lansing, and Jackson eight times daily.
