Nebraska Airport Undergoes Major Runway Rehab
The $100 million project will rebuild 12,900-foot Runway 18/36
Work on Runway 18/36 on at KLNK
The reconstruction of the 12,900-foot runway 18/36 at Nebraska’s Lincoln Airport will last until the end of next year and cost $100 million.

The Lincoln (Nebraska) Airport Authority has kicked off a $100 million reconstruction project on primary Runway 18/36 at Lincoln Airport (KLNK), which—at more than 12,000 feet—is the longest runway in the state.

Originally constructed in the mid-1950s to support the operation of six-engine Boeing B-47 Stratojet bombers at the former Lincoln Air Force Base, the runway’s length allows KLNK to accommodate a wide range of aircraft, including some of the largest military and civilian aircraft operating today.
