Reconstruct apron

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration New England Region awarded Connecticut Airport Authority $3.162 million on May 14, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to reconstruct 4,060 square yards of terminal apron pavement at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut.

This award funds Phase 2 of a larger apron reconstruction project that will address 7,580 square yards of existing terminal apron pavement that has reached the end of its useful life. The period of performance runs through May 13, 2030. Connecticut Airport Authority, a state government entity operating the airport, is the ultimate recipient of the grant. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, established as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides funding for runway, taxiway, safety, sustainability, terminal, and related airport infrastructure projects at eligible NPIAS airports. Assistance is awarded as a lump sum and released upon application for reimbursement of expenses. Projects are expected to be completed within a maximum period of performance of four years from grant award execution.
