MSP Runway 12L-30R Airside Improvements
Phase 1: April 14- May 23, 2025
Phase 2: Aug. 18- Sept. 26, 2025
Cost: $3.48 million budget
Description: The ongoing pavement program at MSP will require the temporary closure of Runway 12R-30L for safety improvements and other airfield projects.
Projects Summary:
- Two-phase construction project
- Grading improvements
- Drainage improvements
- Runway shoulder improvements
- Reconstruction of Taxiway D near Taxiway W
Project Impacts:
- Runway 12R-30L (“south parallel”) will be temporarily closed.
- Airport runway and taxi traffic will be adjusted to accommodate the temporary runway closure with the least operational disruptions.
- Flights that would normally use the south parallel runway will be assigned to one of three other MSP runways during the project.
- During runway closures, FAA’s Air Traffic Control will direct aircraft to use open runways and aircraft may land and depart on runways that are not typical.
- Runway use and airport configurations are determined by the FAA and will vary depending upon wind, air traffic demand and other operational factors.
- People residing in areas around MSP may notice unusual flight patterns and noise levels while construction and maintenance activities are occurring.
