The authority\u2019s Runway Development Project (RDP), a civil effort with a budget of US$565 million (C$620 million), established the new, 14,000-foot parallel runway with a Category IIIa Instrument Landing System, a taxiway system that includes high-speed exits, underpass structures at Taxiway R and Taxiway J, airfield lighting, controls and a new Field Electric Center.<\/p>\n
