DIA Begins $25M in Runway Lighting, Resurfacing Projects
Denver International Airport is starting two projects aimed at improving its heavily used runways. The two projects are located on Runways 7-25 and 8-26 and total $25 million.
On July 1 at 4:00 a.m., DIA closed Runway 7-25 and started work on a $10.3-million reconstruction project. Runway 7-25 is one of DIA’s east-west runways located on the west side of the airfield. During the project, workers will replace approximately 400 concrete slabs that are showing signs of deterioration. The project is part of DIA’s ongoing runway rehabilitation program. The runway is estimated to reopen August 14.
