The Piedmont Triad Airport Authority has approved a $20 million bid to build the taxiway that will connect the airport's current main runway with the third runway being built for FedEx.
Blythe Construction will build the taxiway.
It beat out Vecellio & Grogan, which has done most of the work on the new runway.
The $108 million runway, which is being built parallel to PTI's main runway, is part of the $514 million project to build an East Coast sorting hub for FedEx.
Workers have spent much of the past two years grading the runway and FedEx building sites and rebuilding Bryan Boulevard around the locations. FedEx wants to finish the entire project by late 2008.
