North Field Taxiway Bravo & Runway 10R-28L Striping Work
The North Field Runways (10L‑28R and 10R‑28L) are important secondary runways that support high‑performance jet operations at Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport (OAK). Connected by Taxiway Bravo, they provide critical backup capacity when the primary South Field Runway (12‑30) is unavailable due to maintenance or construction and help maintain safe separation between different aircraft types. Recent inspections have identified areas on Taxiway Bravo and Runway 10R‑28L that require corrective pavement striping repairs. The Project Team has carefully coordinated construction planning to minimize impacts on airfield operations and surrounding communities. This effort has included detailed phasing, sequencing, and identifying efficient [...]

Closing portions of Taxiway Whiskey may impact operations on the main runway, which could result in additional jet departures and arrivals on North Field. Aircraft may overfly residential areas and residents may experience unusual aircraft noise. Dates are subject to change. Download the project map (PDF) [...]
OAK Runway 12/30 Pavement Repair Project Begins May 2024
The Port of Oakland is responsible for maintenance of all pavement at OAK, including airfield pavement for taxiways, runways, aprons, and vehicle service roads. Inspections performed as a part of the ongoing maintenance and monitoring of critical Port infrastructure revealed that preventative maintenance was necessary for the primary air carrier runway, Runway 12/30, at OAK. The specific area to be repaired entails two patches, approximately 28 feet wide and 1,100 feet long on either side of the runway centerline. In addition, pavement cracks suitable for conventional crack sealing will also be addressed at this time. The Runway 12/30 pavement repair [...]
