SFO's Doug Yakel said the repairs are based on general wear-and-tear. 'We repave each runway about every ten to 12 years on average, but this one lasted us a bit longer because of the reduced flight activity that occurred during the pandemic.'

Runway 1 Left will close March 27 for a repaving of its surface layer and is expected to reopen no later than May 25. Other repairs being made include making improvements to adjacent taxiways, upgrading lighting and painting new striping and markings.

Golden Gate Constructors will be handling the renovations. According to SFO, the project's total cost is expected to be $51 million. $27.9 million will be funded by the Federal Aviation Administration. Most aircrafts won't see changes to their landing as they normally use 28 Left and 28 Right. Larger aircrafts also use the two runways for takeoff, so they will not be impacted either. Meanwhile smaller aircrafts, which normally use 1 Left and 1 Right for takeoffs, will use 28 Left and 28 Right during the closure.
