DEN runway 7/25 rehab: FAA shows closures, TWY B4 limits through July 23

Quick take: Denver International Airport’s Runway 7/25 rehabilitation is scheduled during a March 23, 2026–July 23, 2026 closure window, with continued operational impacts because TWY B4 remains closed through July 23, according to the FAA’s Q3 2026 construction impact report.

For travelers, this is less about guaranteed cancellations and more about construction-driven variability—especially in late July—when aircraft may have fewer ground-routing options.

What the FAA’s Q3 2026 report flags at DEN

The FAA’s Q3 2026 Airport Construction Impact Report (dated July 1, 2026) lists a project called “Rehabilitation of RWY 7/25” with estimated dates of 03/23/2026 to 07/23/2026. The report states:

• RWY 7/25 is closed during that period
• Impacts continue through July 23 because TWY B4 remains closed through that time

The FAA also includes an official disclaimer that the report is not for operational use and that construction information is constantly changing and may be postponed or canceled as work progresses.

What this can mean for flights and connections (without guessing airline changes)

Because the runway closure and taxiway limitation reduce available airfield options, the most realistic expectation for passengers is more day-to-day fluctuation in how operations flow—potentially affecting taxi times and delays during peak movement periods.

If you’re flying through DEN in the mid-to-late July window, consider building extra connection buffer time and checking your flight status close to departure for any last-minute operational adjustments.

Local government confirmation: Denver approved the runway rehab contract

Denver’s contract record ties this runway work to the city’s local contracting process.

• In a Transportation and Infrastructure committee agenda packet dated February 4, 2026, Denver listed approval of a contract with W.W. Clyde & Co. for $13,811,057.00 and 123 consecutive calendar days for construction services for the Runway 7-25 Pavement Rehabilitation project at DEN.
• Denver City Council later adopted the resolution for the same project on February 17, 2026 under File #26-0091.

Bottom line for residents, commuters, and business travelers

The FAA documents the Runway 7/25 closure through July 23, 2026 and says operational impacts continue through that same date due to TWY B4. Since the FAA emphasizes the information can change, the practical next step is to verify your specific flight status with your airline and allow extra time for connections during the late-July period.
