Runway rehab granted to DFWIA

​​​​DALLAS-FORT WORTH – Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFWIA) will rebuild and install new technology on one of its busiest runways after receiving several grants totaling more than $52 million.

The bulk of the Airport Improvement Program grants—about $49.5 million—will be used for the refurbishment of Runway 17-Center/35C-Center and associated taxiway improvements.

Another $2.6 million will fund a lighting upgrade for the terminal ramp areas.

The project is scheduled to take place in mid-2018.

The rehabilitation project for the runway features the installation of an updated pavement sensor system for measuring weather impacts.​
