5.Plans to expand Fort Lauderdale International Airport's south commuter runway by a length of over 3000 feet, a width of 50 feet, and elevate the entire runway on a bridge 37.5 feet high has been in debate for over the last 15 years. The bridge will extend over the Florida East Coast Railroad and U.S. 1. Tunnels for both rail and automobile traffic will have to be built to accommodate these modes of transportation through the new runway. Also, five acres of wetlands will be destroyed along with the homes of all wildlife in this area. Finally, over 2,500 nearby resident homes will have to be purchased by Broward County or soundproofed with federal funding. All of this will be accomplished sometime between the years 2012 and 2014 at a cost of $810 million U.S. dollars with the objective of reducing departure delay times to 3 or 4 minutes by the year 2020 when a departure delay time of nearly 26 minutes would be expected for every flight operation if the runway expansion does not occur.
