Thanks for the tour! Wondering how you’ll handle existing staircases, escalators and elevators that currently lead from National Hall to the upper level and ticket counters? Assume they’ll be removed, or maybe one or two staircases will remain but have a security door of some sort police and other authorized users could use to access what will be secure National Hall.
Hi - All existing staircases and escalators from Terminal B/C Ticketing to National Hall will be removed once the new checkpoints open. As seen at 0:44 in the video, there will be six new escalators and two new staircases to move between the two levels. Thanks for the question.
@@DCairports Thanks. I’m with an airline and am based at DCA. Surprised you’re not leaving one staircase in the middle with glass doors and a swipe lock for police to quickly access National Hall from the upper lever if they needed to. I would expect a similar glass door (or cage of some sort at the bottom, also with a swipe access for them). But then again, I’m not an architect. Lol. Thanks for the reply.
One thing that I am wondering about is what my route will be when I arrive via Metro with luggage. Will I be able to check my luggage in the new security checkpoint area and then proceed through security or will I need to come in from the metro and ride an escalator or elevator up one level (where the current B/C ticketing area is) to check my bags and then return to the new security checkpoint? It would be so nice to not have to change levels after arriving by metro to check my luggage. Thanks for the great videos.
