One of the ones on here?
It's not just a runway, there's a whole stormwater system to build, electrical systems to install, a MASSIVE amount of earth to move, the runway surface and substructure are probably twice as thick as a normal road.
The whole thing is going to be poured concrete, not asphalt.
And like Bigtime said, tolerances are much tighter.
Also, there are two underpasses for traffic to go under taxiways (one for the public, and one airside) - plus now likely the Airport Trail tunnel on top of that.
