Taxiway Alpha Now Open

Taxiways Alpha and A1 are now open at the New River Valley Airport.

The NOTAM that would close Runway 6-24 for the evening of Friday, August 13th has been cancelled as work inside the Runway Safety Area has now been completed.

The PAPI system for Runway 24 and the new PAPI for Runway 6 will remain out of service until the FAA conducts a flight check.

Runway Re-Opening Delayed Until Sunday Aug. 8th

A mid-afternoon thunderstorm yesterday in the Dublin area has delayed completion of the work on Runway 6-24 at the New River Valley Airport (KPSK). The new planned re-opening of Runway 6-24 is now scheduled for noon on Sunday, August 8th.

We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to a successful completion of the runway rehabilitation project.

Runway Planned to Re-open on Saturday, August 7th.

We received word today that Runway 6-24 should re-open on the afternoon of Saturday, August 7th.

It appears that while the runway will re-open on Saturday, taxiway Alpha will remain closed for a little longer. This means that aircraft will have to back-taxi from the mid-field taxiway to access the end of Runway 24. We expect that during the week of August 9th, we will have a few nighttime closures in order to finish up work on that taxiway.

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

The rain over the weekend has slowed down progress on the runway rehabilitation project. Initially, it was looking like we could re-open early, now it is going to be a struggle to re-open on time. We'll keep you updated on the progress and our planned re-open. In the meantime, enjoy a few new pictures of the project coming together.
