## Resource

Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport is shutting down Runway 17-35 for six weeks starting September 8 to install energy-efficient LED lighting — part of a multi-year modernization project. While flight paths may shift slightly and Highway 77 will be quiet for the duration, operations remain unaffected. This upgrade, which includes over 1,000 new lights, aims to slash power usage without cutting brightness, following previous runway upgrades since 2019.
