Runway 13L/31R Closure

Runway 13L/31R (Parallel to Lemmon) closure will begin on August 5 and tentatively last approximately 85 days, concluding on October 29. Runway 13L/31R Runway Safety Area Improvements & Rehabilitation of Taxiway A, aims to correct runway safety area (RSA) deficiencies with comprehensive RSA grading and the installation of new drainage infrastructure along the Taxiway A side of the runway. This initiative addresses critical safety-related improvements within the RWY 13L/31R safety area and resolves an existing hot spot at the north end of Taxiway A.

During the 85-day closure, residents and travelers can expect all aircraft traffic to use RWY 13R/31L (Parallel to Denton), leading to potential delays due to the reduced airfield capacity. The project has undergone thorough study and approval by the FAA, the Department of Aviation, consultants, and airlines, including SMS and Safety Risk Analysis panels.
