Terminal rehab progresses and Taxiway J phases begin; one runway will close through summer for taxiway work
Summary
Airport staff reported the terminal rehab work is nearly complete (roof, escalators) and that construction on Taxiways J1/J2 has entered a phase that will close the runway nearest the terminal through August.
Airport construction staff updated the board on the terminal rehabilitation and Taxiway J1/J2 work.
An airport staff presenter said terminal improvements visible to visitors are nearly complete: both escalators are working and roof repairs are finished, leaving gutter work and cleaning. "As far as the roof, that's pretty much all done," the presenter said.
Taxiway J1/J2: staff said the project moved to a new phase and that the runway nearest the terminal would be closed through August as crews finish the taxiway connection between runway and taxiway. The airport will keep the other runway open to maintain operations during construction.
Generator replacement and other infrastructure tasks remain in progress. Staff said the project is on schedule and will require continued operational coordination while one runway is closed.
Why it matters: the runway closure is temporary but will change ground operations and requires coordination with airlines and air traffic to avoid service interruptions.
Ending: staff said they will continue to provide construction updates and expected to keep the board informed as major milestones are reached.
