Runway 10/28 Closure Information

Taxiway work, in the two areas identified below, is prompting a temporary, full closure of Runway 10/28 from April 9 through May 6, 2025.

Work performed during this temporary closure will include pavement removal/replacement, pavement milling/overlay, airfield lighting replacement, grading and stormwater management.

During the Runway 10/28 closure, all air carrier operations will use Runway 15R/33L, which will mean communities to the north and south of BWI Marshall may experience atypical operations.

Operations on Runway 15L/33R, which typically serves general aviation activities, will remain unaffected.

During West Flow, aircraft will arrive to and depart from Runway 33L, resulting in some communities including Elkridge experiencing additional overflights as Runway 33L is seldomly used for departures (1% in 2024). Page 3 of the Project Information Package (linked below) includes a depiction of changes during West Flow.

During East Flow, aircraft will depart Runway 15R (over portions of Glen Burnie and Severn), which is typical during East Flow (34% during 2024). Arrivals to Runway 15R will overfly portions of Catonsville, Arbutus and Elkridge at an increased rate (versus approximately 1% of the time in 2024).
