Toronto Pearson hosts ground-breaking ceremony for runway rehabilitation
A ground-breaking ceremony was held earlier this week at Toronto Pearson for one of the largest runway rehabilitation projects in the airport’s history. Runway 06L/24R, Pearson’s second-busiest runway, will be temporarily closed to late fall for a complete rehabilitation. Modern innovation and advanced planning will allow Pearson to complete the project in eight months.
First built in the 1960s, the three-kilometre runway requires a complete rehabilitation due to the wearing down of its concrete sub-structure by weather conditions, use and time. The project will extend the life of the runway by 30 years and enhance the safety of the runway.
