Runway 14L/32R Rehabilitation

The pavement on Runway 14L/32R at King County International Airport-Boeing Field (KCIA) is at the end of its useful life. Without rehabilitation, it will continue to deteriorate until it is unsafe for aircraft operations. This project is intended to extend the useful life of the runway, which is especially key to small general aviation aircraft operating in and out of KCIA.

The airport plans to rehabilitate Runway 14L/32R, also known as the small or secondary runway, in 2025. There will also be changes made to the taxiways used to access this runway. The work will be funded by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant.

This project will completely close the small runway from mid-March to early October 2025, and all traffic will be directed to the main runway, Runway 14R/32L. In addition, this work will require overnight closures of Runway 14R/32L for the duration of the project. A schedule of those closures is below. NOTAMs will also be posted.
