Gary/Chicago International Airport (GYY) has completed a project rehabilitating and rebuilding nearly half of its 8,859-foot main runway. The $7.9 million, month-long project on Runway 12/30 was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. Aging asphalt was removed, new storm drain piping was installed and, over the course of two weeks, 15 acres of concrete was poured.
