Louisville International Airport
Louisville International Airport serves as the region's economic engine. Some of the key current and future projects are:
Terminal and Facility Improvements
Restroom Renovations
The men's and women's restrooms at the end of Concourse A and the beginning of Concourse B will renovated from January through March.
Airfield Improvements
Taxiway Alpha ("A")
Construction of Phase II (south end) of Taxiway Alpha will begin in the spring of 2008. This taxiway, which will parallel the West Runway (17R/35L), will allow Louisville International to accommodate the larger, Group VI aircraft. This multi-year project will allow Louisville International to accommodate current airport growth needs and help secure the community's economic future by constructing infrastructure to retain and attract aviation-related companies and jobs.
Airfield Lighting (Phase III)
The Authority has completed the second phase of its project to replace existing taxiway-edge lights with brighter, Light Emitting Diode (LED) light fixtures. Phase III will replace airfield cable for some critical circuits and set the stage for future taxiway-edge light replacements
In the future, the Authority plans to install LED light fixtures along all taxiways at Louisville International. LED light fixtures are brighter and more energy efficient.
Airfield Pavement Repairs and Markings
Each year, the Authority identifies pavement-repair projects that maintain the Authority's infrastructure investment. This year, the airfield-pavement project includes sealing joints on the west runway (17R-35R) and the replacement of various inlets on the terminal apron. Construction will continue through the summer of 2008.
