MCRA receives grant from FAA
The MCRA has received a grant from the FAA to rehabilitate the taxiway and lighting system at the Airpark. This grant will cover phase 1 of construction, which will include the parallel taxiway from the mid-field north.
REHABILITATE PARALLEL TAXIWAY GOALS/BENEFITS:
- Construct new parallel taxiway pavement from mid-field to Runway 14 threshold
- Construct dual taxiways to Runway 14 at the north end
- Construct new LED taxiway edge lights system (MITL)
- Re-mark the taxiway center line and hold lines at the proper location
- Install new lighted hold position signs
- Construct a PAPI for Runway 32
Taxiway Construction Project Coordination
The above project will be very beneficial to the Airpark, but will also present significant coordination during construction. The following is a brief summary of what to expect. More information will follow over the next few weeks.
PHASE 1 CONSTRUCTION: May 15 – July 15
(weather dependent) AIRPARK IMPACTS:
- Parallel taxiway closed from mid-field to exit Taxiway E
- Back-taxiing required on Runway 14 – 32
- Touch-and-go operations prohibited
- Additional construction work will be at the north end of the airport
- Runway 14-32 will be closed intermittently on 10 nights (10 pm until 7 am)
PHASE 2 CONSTRUCTION: July 15 – August 15
(weather dependent) AIRPARK IMPACTS:
- Parallel taxiway closed from mid-field to the Runway 14 threshold
