Shift taxiway

The Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission received a $10.92 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to shift Taxiway A south by 165 feet at Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas. The project, awarded on September 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 17, 2029, is designed to enhance safety at the airport's critical airfield infrastructure. This taxiway reconstruction represents a capital improvement project that supports the FAA's strategic objectives of maintaining a safe and efficient nationwide airport system while addressing the airport's operational safety requirements.

The Airport Improvement Program, which funds this project alongside Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, supports the development and modernization of public-use airport infrastructure across the United States. The four-year project timeline is typical for FAA airport infrastructure grants, which generally span from design through construction and closeout phases. The grant will enable the airport authority to execute the taxiway relocation work necessary to optimize airfield safety and operations for the approximately 2.2 million passengers annually served at this regional transportation hub.
