RNO is excited to announce the completion of the second major project under the MoreRNO Infrastructure Program—the airport Loop Road. With both the Ticketing Hall and now the Loop Road finished, these two highly visible projects for passengers are officially behind us.
This revamped 1,800 linear foot roadway, made from 5,500 tons of smooth asphalt, was built with sustainability in mind. Teams crushed and recycled 20,000 cubic feet of concrete to use as the road’s base and installed LED lighting for the canopies, which also feature energy-efficient snow melt systems.
Safety and accessibility were top priorities throughout the project. Here’s what was improved:
