Project Description:

The Renzel Airfield Improvement Project is made up of several elements:

  • Reconstruction of Taxiway "Y" between Taxiway "B" and Taxiway "L”
    • Approximately 9,000 feet of new concrete pavement, a new taxiway-edge lighting system, infield drainage, guidance signs, striping, and all other components to make the taxiway meet FAA criteria

  • Widening of Taxiway "Z" between Taxiway “G" and Taxiway “L”
    • New concrete pavement, edge lighting, drainage, guidance signs, and components to make the taxiway meet all FAA criteria

  • North Concourse Storm Sewer Relocation Project
    • Construction of a 78-inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) storm drain line between Taxiway "G" and Taxiway "L" including manholes and junction structures
    • Construction of a 48-inch RCP at Taxiway "G“
    • Construction of a 30-inch RCP between the 78-inch RCP and the infield between Taxiways "Y" and "Z“
    • Construction of an aircraft load-rated junction structure on Taxiways “Z” at Taxiway “L”
  • Additional Storm Drain Pipes to Adequately Drain All Infield Areas


  • Relocation of the Runway Distance Remaining (RDR) signs for Runway 30R/12L


  • Modification of Electrical Control and Power Systems to accommodate the new taxiway signs and lights

As a result of the construction, Taxiways Y and Z will be closed for the duration of the project. Runway 30L will remain open and serve all commercial aircraft departures and arrivals, while Runway 30R will be utilized as a taxiway.

Bond sale proceeds, Airport Improvement Program grants, Passenger Facility Charges (PFC) and Airport rates and charges fund the project. No local taxes were used to fund this project.
