Runway 3-21 and Airfield Pavement Rehabilitation
 

AVCON provided the design and construction phase services for the rehabilitation and strengthening of the 5,500-foot runway, two connector taxiways, and the aircraft apron. The new runway lighting system was also included. Additionally, the project included a new partial parallel taxiway to Runway 21 (approximately 1,800 feet) with edge lighting and extensions to the current apron. Pavements were designed for 45,000 and 60,000 pound wheel loads and several alternate bid schedules were utilized to maximize available funding. Pavements were ultimately constructed to accommodate 60,000 pound wheel loads.
