The Front Range provides a beautiful backdrop for the behind-the-scenes airfield work at this huge transportation hub. A t the Denver area airport and others across the country, Interstate Highway Construc-tion, Inc., builds ribbons of concrete runway and the taxiways that tie them together like bows.
