Drivers who are headed northbound on Jefferson Davis Highway will have to pass the bridge and eventually get on George Washington Parkway southbound to reach the airport, whereas southbound drivers on Jefferson Davis Highway will keep driving south to Slaters Lane, and then get on northbound GW Parkway.
As always, you can also access the airport by Metro rail, which goes directly to the airport terminal.
