PROJECTS OF THE YEAR RUNWAY/RAMPS
At 8,800 feet
long, Runway
13R-31L serves as the main commercial
air carrier runway at DAL.
Originally constructed in the 1960s,
it was last rehabilitated in 1990 with
a concrete overlay with a 20-year
design life. It remained in service for
31 years and saw a dramatic increase
in air traffic and change in fleet mix
when the Wright Amendment, which
limited air traffic at DAL, expired in
2014. A pavement management update
showed the runway condition had
deteriorated to a point beyond repair.
This project
rebuilt 13R-31L
at
the same length and width to
current FAA regulations. It included
demolition of the existing pavement,
reconstruction of a portion of
parallel Taxiway C, new connector
taxiways to the runway, upgrades to
storm drainage and the runway safety
areas, and new lighting.
Construction began in March
2021 and included a 14-month
runway closure. The project encountered
many challenges during construction
including COVID-19,
adverse weather and market condition
impacts. Despite these challenges,
the project was able to mitigate
a 7-month delay by reducing it to 4
months on the runway closure and
only 2 months on the overall project
schedule. The project was substantially
complete in October 2022.

USING A cutting-edge design method and adhering to
high standards for sustainability, the reconstruction of
Runway 13R-31L at Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) enhances
airfield safety and improves airfield efficiencies.

and Taxiway C - Phase 1 is significant
in allowing DAL to remain a
leader in the national air transportation
system. The 30-year design will
help in ensuring our infrastructure
can keep up with the demand for
serving our customers and enhance
safety for operations. As one of the
busiest medium hub airports in the
country, it was imperative to plan and
design this project in the most efficient
way possible, " Marissa Sanchez,
assistant director for the City of Dallas
Department of Aviation, said.
A top priority was creating a
highly efficient layout for aircraft
operations to maximize the airport's
overall capacity. To address that
