Upcoming MSP Runway Construction

The purpose of this communication is to inform you about upcoming runway construction at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) that will impact airport operations in 2024. 

The construction includes runway pavement work, grading for runway safety areas, installation of new pavement markings, lighting, and signage. The construction work will take place during the summer to late autumn 2024 and will require temporary runway closures. Runway 12L-30R (North Parallel Runway) and Runway 4-22 (Crosswind Runway) will be closed from early June, through late September, weather permitting. Temporary changes in flight patterns and aircraft activity will occur during construction. Flights that would normally use the closed runways must be assigned to open runways. The FAA will adjust runway usage based on factors such as wind direction, aircraft safety, operational efficiency, and a priority Runway Use System.

With aircraft directed to use open runways, residents may notice a temporary change or increase in activity over their neighborhood, depending on the flight patterns and runway configurations chosen by the FAA during the upcoming construction. When the runway construction is complete, and the runways are reopened, the FAA will return MSP to its pre-construction operational patterns.

 If you have any questions or concerns regarding airfield operations, aircraft noise, or runway closures due to construction, please contact MAC's Community Relations Office at 612-726-9411, or you can learn more by visiting the MSP Runway Construction website. 

Attend the upcoming Quarterly Listening Session to learn more about construction and potential impacts, and provide comments on aircraft noise issues.

Meet with Council Member Palmisano

One of the best parts of my job is getting to meet with my constituents, learn more about you and hear your questions, concerns, hopes and dreams for our shared community. 

If you'd like to schedule a time to meet with me, send me an e-mail and my staff will help get it scheduled. Please let me know what you'd like to talk about and a convenient place to meet—a coffee shop, a park, your home, my office, etc. I try to reserve Fridays for constituent meetings, but can work them in other times, as necessary, too.
