'This project will extend the life of the runway by 30 years and enhance the safety of the runway,' Toronto's Pearson Airport says.
Toronto Pearson International Airport says it will be shutting down its second-busiest runway for a full repair and rehabilitation starting in April for at least seven months.
In a notice posted on the torontopearson.com website, the airport says the rehabilitation project for its “east/west runway 06L/24R” is expected to be done in phases and will last until November or “late fall.”
“First built in the 1960s, this 3-km runway needs to be fully repaired due to the wearing down of its concrete sub-structure because of weather conditions, use and time,” the airport’s notice read.
“This project will extend the life of the runway by 30 years and enhance the safety of the runway.”
