Trump Proposes World-Record Parking Garage at Dulles, Drawing Skepticism

President Trump unveiled plans for a 32,000-car parking garage at Dulles International Airport as part of a $22.5 billion renovation, claiming it would be the largest in the world. The airport’s master plan envisions a much smaller 6,400-car deck by 2031–2034, and critics warn the proposed structure could raise throughput, safety, and sightline issues while costing well over $900 million if all spots are built. The plan’s details aren’t reflected in official renderings, and advocates point to the existing Metro Silver Line as a cheaper access alternative.

Dulles to Screen Ebola-Exposed US-Bound Travelers

The CDC has ordered US-bound flights carrying passengers who recently visited Ebola-affected regions (the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan) to land at Washington Dulles International Airport for health screening. Entry restrictions under Title 42 apply to non-citizens who visited those areas in the prior 21 days, with the order in effect for at least 30 days, while American citizens and lawful permanent residents will be screened upon arrival. About 10 CDC staff are being sent to Dulles to conduct questionnaires, temperature checks, and follow-up with state health departments as part of a layered public-health approach intended to slow the virus’s spread and minimize disruption at the airport.
