Taxiway W is one of the most used taxiways at the airport. Inspections performed as a part of the Airport Pavement Management System (APMS) identified Taxiway W as a top priority for rehabilitation and the Phase 1 section identified in the project map as the most critical. The rehabilitation of Taxiway W is anticipated to be completed in phases over the next two years.
The Taxiway W Rehabilitation Project will repave the existing taxiway and upgrade in-pavement guidance lights. The project scope includes pavement and lighting work on Taxiway Whiskey (W), lighting work on Taxiway Uniform (U), and temporary activation of Taxiway U Prime. This project is funded through the FAA Airport Improvement Program.
During this work, portions of Taxiway W will be closed from July 10, 2023, through October 23, 2023. Closing portions of Taxiway W will restrict access to the main runway; please expect jet departures and arrivals on North Field. Aircraft may overfly residential areas and residents may experience unusual aircraft noise. Dates are subject to change.
