Construct taxiway

The City of Salt Lake Department of Airports received a $6.67 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106), awarded on September 19, 2025. The grant funds airport infrastructure improvements at Salt Lake City International Airport, including the construction of two new 4,200-foot paved taxiways (Taxiway U and Taxiway V) designed to bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards, as well as Phase 3 construction of remaining vehicle service roads not previously funded through supplemental discretionary appropriations.

The project is expected to be completed by September 18, 2029. These taxiway and vehicle service road improvements support the FAA's strategic objectives of operational excellence and safety while maintaining a comprehensive airport system adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs. As a municipal airport authority, the City of Salt Lake serves as the grant recipient and is responsible for project execution, compliance reporting, and record retention in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration grant requirements.
