Summary
July 22 marks the start of BWI's closure of Runway 10-28, its longest runway, for a full rehabilitation project budgeted at $83.8 million.
Oct. 8 is the scheduled end of construction, with the 10,500-foot runway staying shut until the work is completed.
Runway 10-28 is one of two commercial runways at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, making the closure a significant operational constraint during the project.
BWI says the overhaul is aimed at improving the runway's long-term safety, reliability and operational efficiency.
