Reconstruct runway lighting; reconstruct runway visual guidance system; rehabilitate runway; realign taxiway

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region awarded the City of Minot $4,967,931.58 on July 16, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to reconstruct runway lighting, rehabilitate runway pavement, realign a taxiway, and reconstruct the runway end identifier lights system at Minot International Airport.

Phase 1 funds replacement of the runway end identifier lights at the Runway 8 threshold. Phase 2 funds reconstruction of 2,700 feet of runway lighting circuits. Phase 3 funds construction of the southern 362 feet of Taxiway B (realigned 8 degrees to enhance safety) and rehabilitation of 2,700 feet of existing paved Runway 08/26 to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris. The full scope also includes rehabilitation of 6,348 feet of existing paved runway to extend its useful life.

Performance occurs in North Dakota. The period of performance runs from July 16, 2026, through July 15, 2030. The Airport Improvement Program assists public-use airport sponsors in developing airport infrastructure that meets civil aeronautics needs and supports long-term economic benefits.

Activities and expected outcomes

This project realigns existing taxiway b by 8 degrees to enhance safety. This project reconstructs existing runway 8/26 lighting that has reached the end of its useful life. This project reconstructs the runway end identifier lights system for runway 8/26, at both runway thresholds that have reached the end of their useful lives. This project rehabilitates 6,348 feet of existing paved runway 08/26 to maintain the structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris to extend its useful life. This grant funds phase 1, which consists of replacing the runway end identifier lights at the runway 8 threshold. This grant funds phase 2, which consists of reconstructing 2,700 feet of runway lighting circuits. This grant funds phase 3, which consists of constructing the southern 362 feet of taxiway. This grant funds phase 3, which consists of rehabilitating 2,700 feet of runway. Intended beneficiary: this grant will provide federal funding for airports associated with minot, north dakota.
