As announced in April 2023, Reagan National Airport is overseeing a project to resurface and rehabilitate asphalt and base materials along its two primary runways during overnight hours. Closures associated with the project have been carefully planned and coordinated with airlines to minimize impacts on passengers. Despite these adjustments, there is a risk that late-night or early morning flights to Reagan National could be canceled or diverted if they are delayed at their originating airport or enroute. On-time flights are not expected to be affected. Nightly work along the airport's main runway will last from May 2023 through mid-November. Construction will pause during winter and resume in spring 2024.
