The FAA has approved the contract documents for the runway rehabilitation project, putting us one step closer to beginning the project. We have submitted our construction phasing plan to the FAA and expect to receive comment from them very soon.
Tentatively, our construction plan is to begin work around July 12th. The construction plan will incorporate 15 nighttime runway closures; followed by 15 consecutive days of runway closures.
IF we were to begin work on July 7th, the schedule would look something like this...
July 12 - July 26: Runway 6-24 will be closed during nighttime hours only. These closures will likely be between 9:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. Normal daytime operations will be permitted at the runways full length and width.
July 27 - August 10: Runway 6-24 will be closed for paving.
August 10th or 11th: Runway 6-24 will re-open at its full length and width.
Sometime in late August or early September, we will have a few additional nighttime closures for final runway markings and pavement grooving. These closures will not impact day operations.
This is a VERY TENTATIVE schedule. We are still working with the FAA and the contractor for the phasing approval and the final decision on a start date. However, this information could impact many of you so getting this tentative schedule should help as you plan your summer flights. This is especially important for those of you planning to attend AirVenture in Oshkosh this year!
I will keep you up to date as a more definitive schedule is established.
