A major runway at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is temporarily closing next week as construction crews kick-start tarmac rehabilitation.

For 11 weeks, the $84 million project will shut down one of two runways that handle arrivals and departures of commercial flights at BWI. It will also require overnight closures of the airport’s other commercial runway for the majority of that time to accommodate work at the intersection of the two runways.

But fret not, summer traveler. Airport officials say it shouldn’t impact airline operations in and out of Baltimore’s self-described “easy come, easy go” airport.
