New Taxiway Opens At Trenton-Mercer Airport

MERCER COUNTY, NJ - A new taxiway was inaugurated this week at the Trenton-Mercer Airport. Mercer County Executive Dan Benson and elected officials from Mercer County were present for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The construction of the Parallel Taxiway Delta was completed over several construction seasons and paid for using a combination of State, Federal and County funds.

By running the taxiway parallel to the main runway, the design allows for direct entry to the runway reducing “hot spots” and safety concerns caused by runway crossover. The design and completion bring the taxiway into compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration’s standards.

“The things we’ve done at the airport are all about making passengers’ flying experience better and safer, while creating the capacity to have more flights and more good experiences here at Trenton Mercer Airport,” County Executive Dan Benson said.

“We’re excited for Trenton-Mercer to continue moving forward as an essential transportation hub in our region.”
