4 July 2019 marked the commencement of the asphalt placement. Asphalt is the final of the three layers that make up the pavement design of Brisbane's new runway. Watch on to hear from the Project Director, Paul Coughlan, to find out what the new runway means for Brisbane.
Brisbane’s new runway is the completion of long-term planning for Brisbane Airport which commenced in the 1970s. Construction of the new runway began in 2012, with the official opening on Sunday 12 July 2020.
The new runway gives Brisbane the most efficient runway system in Australia. It will serve the needs of South East Queensland for decades to come, maintaining and growing our connections with the world as our city continues to grow, while building the gateway to Queensland & Australia.
