TRI-CITIES, WA — The Tri-Cities Airport has begun construction on an important taxiway renovation effort. The $10.5 million project will be performed in four phases, without any impact to the traveling public.
As part of the plan, the airport will temporarily close Runway 12-30 and general aviation runway 3R-21L. The airport will then relocate and rehabilitate Taxiway A in order to bring it in line with current FAA design standards. Two additional taxiways will have their pavement rehabilitated, and portions of the apron will be extended. Including stops for winter weather, the project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2019.
“Airports are constantly evolving to keep pace with passenger growth, safety regulations, technological advancements and more,” said Buck Taft, Director of Tri-Cities Airport. “This realignment project ensures that the airport will meet federal standards and continue to operate safely and efficiently.”
J-U-B Engineers is the project manager and also developed the taxiway project design; Inland Asphalt Company will perform the construction work. Both firms have offices in the Tri-Cities area.
Ninety percent of the project’s costs come from a US Department of Transportation grant, with the remaining portion being paid by the airport. The taxiway realignment project will not use local tax dollars.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
