As part of the Fourth Parallel Runway Program at CLT, an end-around taxiway is required at the south end of new Runway 1C-19C and existing Runway 18C-36C. This project will construct the South End-Around Taxiway (SEAT). The project includes erosion and sedimentation control, grading, drainage, retaining wall construction, airfield concrete and asphalt paving, marking, and airfield lighting/signage to construct the SEAT. The new taxiway will meet FAA Taxiway Design Group (TDG) 5 requirements.
North End Around Taxiway Package 2 – Paving and Lighting
The North End Around Taxiway (NEAT) – Package 2 consists of installation of taxiway pavement including necessary subgrade improvements, cement treated aggregate base, and Portland cement concrete at proposed grade; installation of airfield lighting and signage components, including conduits, taxiway edge and centerline lights, guidance signs, and necessary electrical components or facilities; installation of a cul-de-sac end treatment, fencing, and guardrail to existing Marshall Drive, just south of Wilkinson Boulevard and north of the Norfolk Southern railroad; installation of the airfield access road north paralleling Taxiway T, and connection to the remnants of Old Dowd Road and Overlook Access Drive (both closed to public traffic).
