The rehabilitating and widening of Runway 13R-31L at JFK Airport is no small task. At 14,572 feet in length—the second longest commercial runway in North America—the "Bay Runway" will require 208,000 yards of Portland cement concrete (enough to pave the field of every stadium in the National Football League with two feet of concrete), 200,000 tons of asphalt concrete (the weight of six Titanics), and 195,000 dowel bars (enough to stretch from JFK all the way to Orient Point on the East End of Long Island).
