7/16/2010 - Runway Closure Update

The contractor tells me they are still on schedule with the plan to begin repaving the runway on Wednesday, July 21st. The airport currently remains closed at night (9pm) and reopens in the morning (7am). The plan is to close runway 6-24 the morning of Wednesday, July 21st and not re-open until the paving is complete. However, there is rain in the forecast this weekend, which may impact the contractors ability to finish up their nighttime closure work.

It looks like either Monday or Tuesday, we will close Taxiway A (the taxiway leading to runway 24) in order to accommodate some work being done there. Please check NOTAMs for the current taxiway closure information.

If you are planning on relocating your aircraft for the shutdown, please keep the runway closure and other NOTAMs in mind. The last opportunity to relocate your aircraft will likely be Tuesday, July 20th prior to 9:00PM. (We will close for nighttime work on Tuesday night and if the contractor remains on schedule, we will move right into the full time closure on Wednesday, July 21st.)
