RSW RW 6-24 Rehabilitation
Runway 6-24 at RSW underwent a comprehensive rehabilitation in 2007, including milling, repaving, and lighting upgrades, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
The 2007 rehabilitation of Runway 6-24 at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) was a pivotal infrastructure project that enhanced the airport's operational efficiency and safety. Spanning 12,000 feet in length, the runway underwent comprehensive milling, repaving, and the installation of new centerline lighting. A notable aspect of the project was the innovative conversion of Taxiway A into a temporary runway, a first for a single-runway, medium-hub airport in the United States. This approach allowed uninterrupted airport operations during construction. The project was completed ahead of schedule, earning accolades such as the 2007 BIA Summit Award for Best Public Works Project, the Florida Department of Transportation's Outstanding Airport Project award, and the FAA Airport Safety Mark of Distinction Award.
