RWY 18L/36R Rehabilitation Project
Critical Rehabilitation Project
Runway 18L/36R plays a vital role in DFW’s operations, managing approximately 50% of daily departures on
the west side of the airfield. Constructed in 1974, the 13,401-foot runway has supported growth for more than
half a century and now requires rehabilitation. The project will extend the critical infrastructure’s structural life,
enhance current and future performance and improve operational and maintenance cost efficiencies.
