BOS Terminal C Construction
JetBlue.com has an alert posted regarding construction at BOS Terminal C that purportedly starts today, never mind the fact that the check-in area has been ripped up for months now. They're recommending that travelers arrive 2 hours prior, and be on queue for security 1 hour before departure.
Does anyone have any information about what new construction might be causing this? Also, if anyone is transiting Terminal C today (8/30), please provide an update on any changes.
I'm on a 6:05am flight to RDU tomorrow (just another of many so far), and I normally take the Concord Coach shuttle from Portland rather than driving. It arrives at approximately 5:05am. I'm already checked-in, have Pre✔ and will have only a laptop bag and carryon.
Should I worry, or just drive down instead?
Update: I called JetBlue and they really didn't have any additional information to provide. I then called Massport's customer service line and they seemed unaware of any specifics that would require me to change my arrival time (given my checked-in/Pre✔/carryon-only status).

I just checked with Concord Coach and they've received no reports from their drivers of anything other than normal congestion or a change in traffic pattern at BOS. They run hourly after 6am, so I'm sure any issues would have made it to their customer service desk by now. You're likely right, nothing to worry about

Same here. We had a 7am flight today and everything was smooth until we were next in line at the security scan where some people who were unaccustomed to flying were having difficulties with the procedures. But that's hardly the fault of B6 or Logan.

It is the Terminal E-C Connector which has been under construction for quite some time now. I actually thought that it would be wrapping up by the end of the year; to see a construction alert now is curious.

The construction is getting closer to completion...within the last month, JetBlue finally opened about 10 gazillion counter positions on the left side of the departure terminal (opposite the food court). That alleviates the nasty lines that used to block the doorway entrances and makes room for new Air Emirates (and I believe a few more Cape Air) check in positions.
Of course, why they couldn't add a lower level tunnel to seamlessly move from arrival gate to baggage claim/taxi, is beyond me (since you still have to traverse the departures area). And no, the 40s gates for Alaska and Sun Country are still separated from the rest of the terminal. Which is a real pita, as there is no PreCheck nor place to buy a decent cup of coffee, post security, before flights to the West Coast
I fly out of A and C quite often, and you certainly don't need to be there more than your normal 60 minutes. If there is a traffic backup to get to C (rare, but it does happen), just alight at Terminal A and walk.
