The grant funds Phase 1 (design phase) of a comprehensive airport pavement rehabilitation project that will address structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris at San Diego-area airports. The project encompasses the rehabilitation of 3,401 linear feet of Runway 10R/28L and 5,694 linear feet of Taxiways B, C, D, F, H, and M to extend the useful life of these critical airport infrastructure assets.
