September 12, 2012 - NOTICE of Runway 1/19 Full Closure!!
September 12, 2012 - NOTICE of Runway 1/19 FULL Closure for Contract 2 Construction Start:
The next contract to reconstruct Runway 1/19 will begin tomorrow morning at 5:30 am requiring the full closure of the Runway 1/19.
Due to funding limitations, the entire Runway 1/19 Reconstruction has been broken into multiple contracts or phases. We will be completing the first critical phase of the reconstruction in the next few weeks. The next contract (Contract 2) will begin with the removal of the existing pavement on the center portion of the runway (south of the Contract 1 portion just wrapping up this weekend). The FULL length of Runway 7/25 will be available throughout the Contract 2 project this fall. The airport was fortunate to receive funding for the next phase of work and therefore, the contractor is continuing south with the reconstruction effort. Due to the reconstruction work being completed on the center portion of the runway, the remaining length of runway outside the work zone is not long enough to be useable. Therefore, Runway 1/19 will remain closed during the duration of the work this fall. The next Contract is scheduled to be completed by late November 2012.
