San Francisco International Airport will close Runway 1R for six months for runway resurfacing and taxiway upgrades.
The work is scheduled to take place from March 30 to October 2, 2026, and will include resurfacing of the top pavement layer, improvements to adjacent taxiways, upgraded lighting, and new runway and taxiway markings. Granite Construction Company will carry out the project, with total construction costs expected to reach 180 million US dollars. Approximately half of the funding is being provided by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
During this period, all arriving and departing flights will use runways 28L and 28R. The parallel Runway 1L will serve as an auxiliary taxiway to help ease ground congestion. The airport expects that fewer than 10% of flights will experience delays, averaging less than 30 minutes, with peak congestion anticipated around 9:00 p.m. and between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
