Airport officials said drivers must make a U-turn at the intersection of International and Porsche Boulevard or turn right onto Dreamliner Drive to reach the terminal.

In the following nights, concrete barriers will be erected along the ring road and construction will begin on a temporary road leading to the day deck ticket counter, officials said.

The remaining sections of the roundabout will be closed from Wednesday night.
