Denver International Airport Unveils FAA-Funded Taxiway for Smooth Airport Operations
Freepik
Taxiway
EE
at
Denver
International
Airport
became
operational
on
Tuesday.
Identified
as
the
FAA’s
largest
safety
project,
it
was
completed
on
time
and
with
minimum
disruption
to
airport
operations.
Taxiway
EE
provides
unrestricted
access
to
and
from
Runway
17L-35R
by
removing
a
hazard
‘hot
spot’
previously
located
at
the
intersection
of
Taxiway
M
and
Taxiway
ED.
A
‘hot
spot’
is
an
area
of
an
airport
with
a
high
risk
of
accidents,
including
runway
incursions
and
crashes.
With
the
addition
of
Taxiway
EE,
aircraft
no
longer
need
to
navigate
an
active
runway
(Runway
17R)
to
take
off
from
Runway
17L.
This
significant
increase
in
speed
expedites
operations
and
increases
runway
capacity.
So
the
next
time
you
book

cheap
flights,
you
can
get
a
firsthand
experience
of
the
improvised
airport
efficiency.
Denver
Airport
Takes
a
Step
Towards
Safety
Excellence
Denver
had
a
record-breaking
month
in
June,
with
its
highest-ever
passenger
flow,
and
it
expects
to
serve
up
to
80
million
people
this
year.
The
airport
now
has
six
active
runways
and
has
conducted
research
into
the
possibility
of
adding
a
seventh
runway,
though
this
is
not
expected
to
happen
for
several
years.
This
newly
introduced
option
considerably
reduces
risk
while
increasing
total
system
efficiency
and
capacity
by
an
astonishing
10%.
Illumination
and
Runway
Improvement
The
airport
has
also
received
a
$30.6
million
fund
from
the
Bipartisan
Infrastructure
Act
for
the
renovation
of
Runway
17L-35R.
This
massive
project
includes
not
only
critical
runway
repairs
but
also
the
shift
to
cutting-edge
LED
lighting
systems,
among
other
necessary
modifications.
The
all-around
expenditure
of
this
massive
project
is
predicted
to
reach
$41.7
million,
with
the
budget
covering
the
vast
majority
of
the
costs.
The
Bipartisan
Infrastructure
Act,
directed
by
the
Biden
Administration,
has
contributed
more
than
$200
million
to
airports
across
the
country
for
the
sole
purpose
of
enhancing
lighting
systems.
This
improvement
in
airport
infrastructure
brings
the
country’s
airports
into
the
modern
era.
Denver
International
Airport’s
recent
upgrades
highlight
the
airport’s
constant
dedication
to
safety,
efficiency,
and
the
future
development
of
air
travel
in
the
USA.
With
Denver
Airport’s
newly
announced
taxiway
transformation,
you
can
expect
a
seamless
travel
experience
no
matter
if
you
are
traveling
on
domestic
or
cheap
international
flight
tickets.
