No, the runway is as wide today as it was when it was built in 1942 – 150 feet. In 1942, the Boca Raton Airport’s current single runway was originally constructed as one of four runways at the airfield and was 5,000 feet long by 150 feet wide. In 1972, the runway was lengthened to 5,200 feet to accommodate the construction of the Airport’s parallel taxiway. In 1998, two displaced thresholds were constructed to bring the total length to 6,276 feet long by 150 feet wide, which is the size the runway remains to this day. Due to land constraints on both ends of the Airport, the runway cannot be lengthened or expanded any further.
