Project Description

At the far south end of Taxiway Alpha, the FAA has identified a Runway Incursion site, requiring mitigation for safety purposes. This small airfield project has been included in much larger airfield reconstruction project also known as the Runway 16R/34L Reconstruction project. The Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) work involves the rounding off of a squared-off portion of pavement. Because this RIM work is included in Phase 2 of a larger airfield project, all schedule and cost information below represents the larger project – Runway 16R/34L Reconstruction, Phase 2.
