BWI Runway Gets Major Upgrade | Annapolis News

BWI Airport is shutting down one of its main runways for an 11-week, $84 million repaving and upgrade project starting July 22, with work expected to finish by October 8. The overhaul includes new asphalt and modern LED lighting, funded by a $62 million federal contribution and state dollars. Though the closure will require overnight shutdowns of the other commercial runway, officials assure travelers that operations will continue with minimal disruption — even as BWI handles record-breaking traffic, including a June day with 692 flights. The goal? To keep the airport safe, reliable, and running smoothly for years to come. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
