The main runway at Bradley International Airport (BDL) main is ready for take-offs and landings after a two-month, $17 million reconstruction project.
Runway 6-24 handles about 210 of the 350 daily flights at Bradley, located in Windsor Locks, about 15 miles north of Hartford.
State Department of Transportation crews milled, resurfaced, grooved and painted the 9,510-foot-long and 250-foot-wide runway. Upgrades included a water main crossing and new wiring for the runway lights.
The project was funded through an FAA Airport Improvement Program grant along with funds from the airport's capital improvement budget. The Connecticut Department of Transportation owns and operates the airport.
