Denver International Airport is the third-busiest airport in the world.

DENVER — More than 2,000 parking spaces at Denver's airport will close Monday.

Denver International Airport (DIA) said a large part of the East Economy Lot will close Monday so repairs and improvements can be made.

The airport said approximately 2,000 spaces on the north side of the parking lot will remain open. The entire East Economy Lot is expected to reopen when work is completed in October.
