St. Pete-Clearwater airport finishes runway project

December 16, 2020 - The St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport will open its primary runway on Friday, Dec. 18. The runway has been closed since July as part of a rehabilitation project.  During the closure, all flight operations were shifted to a secondary runway and noise abatement procedures were temporarily suspended. "We recognize these altered flight patterns impacted residential communities while the airport completed these safety improvements. Noise abatement procedures will resume with the reopening of the primary runway. We appreciate the community’s understanding during this critical phase of the project," PIE said in a statement. The $24 million project included asphalt pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction and was essential for safe operations at the airport, due to weathering and cracking over time, the airport said previously.
