Rehabilitate runway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), awarded a formula grant of $7.37 million to the Port of Oakland on September 18, 2025, for runway rehabilitation infrastructure improvements. The project involves the rehabilitation of 5,412 feet of existing paved Runway 10R/28L at Oakland International Airport to maintain structural integrity, minimize foreign object debris, and extend the runway's useful life. The grant funds the first phase of construction, consisting of 2,692 feet of runway resurfacing work, with an expected project completion date of September 17, 2029.

This infrastructure investment directly supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by addressing aging airport infrastructure at a major regional transportation hub serving the San Francisco Bay Area. The Port of Oakland, a local government entity responsible for managing Oakland's aviation and maritime facilities, has demonstrated substantial capacity in managing federal infrastructure projects, with over $110 million in prior FAA Airport Improvement Program awards for various taxiway, terminal, and runway rehabilitation projects.
