达拉斯-沃斯堡机场第三条绕行滑行道提前完工：120亿美元升级计划一环
在得克萨斯州塔兰特县，达拉斯-沃斯堡国际机场11月2日宣布，机场西南绕行滑行道已提前完工，这是机场的第三条绕行滑行道，也是耗资120亿美元的「DFW Forward」机场升级计划的一部分。
绕行滑行道可让抵达飞机在不穿越跑道的情况下绕行到跑道另一端，减少跑道冲突、改善飞机地面移动，平均为每个航班缩短约4分钟滑行时间，也帮助航空公司降低运营成本。新滑行道装有600多个 LED 灯具、14.5万英尺电缆与近9.7万平方码混凝土道面。
机场方面表示，联邦航空局已为机场的绕行滑行道项目提供1.8亿美元拨款支持；机场第一条绕行滑行道于2008年完工，东北绕行滑行道于2022年5月完工。达拉斯-沃斯堡机场是全美唯一在一条跑道两端都设有绕行滑行道的机场。
机场预计到2030年年旅客量将达到1亿人次，这项升级计划还包括航站楼与旅客体验等现代化改造内容。

DFW Airport Completes Third End-Around Taxiway Early Under $12 Billion Upgrade Program
In Tarrant County, Texas, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport announced on November 2 that its Southwest End-Around Taxiway has been completed ahead of schedule. It is the airport's third end-around taxiway and part of the $12 billion DFW Forward capital program.
End-around taxiways let arriving aircraft move around active runways without crossing them, reducing runway conflicts, improving aircraft movement and cutting taxi times by an average of four minutes per flight, which also lowers airline operating costs. The new taxiway features more than 600 LED light fixtures, 145,000 linear feet of electrical cable and nearly 97,000 square yards of concrete pavement.
The airport said the Federal Aviation Administration has provided $180 million in grants for its end-around taxiway program; the first such taxiway was completed in 2008 and the Northeast End-Around Taxiway in May 2022. DFW is the only airport in the United States with end-around taxiways at both ends of a runway.
The airport expects to handle 100 million passengers a year by 2030, and the program also covers terminal and passenger-experience modernization.
