The airport taxiway repaving was completed on time and under budget. Premier Brown noted:

67,000 tons of aggregate, sand and asphalt cement were used to update L.F. Wade International Airport with the finest in taxiway technology. The total re-pavement is equivalent to 75 kilometers of Bermuda roads.

The 18-million dollar project, started in March, was deemed necessary by an independent auditor who worried our ageing taxiway could no longer withstand the constant abuse of heavy aircraft.

Now that risk is averted.

The project was a success.

And perhaps most importantly, the bottom line came in at $17.6 million – almost half-a-million dollars under budget.

This is the kind of efficient management that Bermudians have come to expect from their PLP government.
