Building $1 Billion of Runway at CLT International Airport

Disclaimer—this video is NOT produced by CLT.

Welcome to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, one of the busiest in the United States. And like any other busy airport, it's growing FAST.

And fast growth doesn't only mean new airport terminals—it means entirely new runways, like CLT's fourth parallel runway project.

A multi-year $1B undertaking, the fourth parallel runway will eventually allow air traffic to flow in and out of the airport more efficiently.

To build it, there's A LOT of earthmoving involved. And this is where ES Wagner comes into play. Moving dirt since 1947, they also moved the dirt for CLT's third parallel runway in the early 2000s. Now they're back, and we enjoyed checking out the action.
