RHODE ISLAND SECTION

Runway extension in Providence honored for sustainability

The Providence’s Runway 5 Extension at T.F. Green Airport received the Envision rating system’s Gold award from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure.

The project is the 16th overall Envision-rated project and first project rated in Rhode Island.

The project involved lengthening T.F. Green’s main runway to 8,700 feet as part of a multi-year Airport Improvement Program to accommodate aviation activity demand and enhance the safety areas. The extension is also designed to improve flight efficiency through increased payloads and reduced weight penalties and to accommodate long-haul service to the West Coast.
