RUNWAY "STRENGTHENING"
The main runway at the H L Sonny Callahan airport is closed for construction; taxi-way Alpha is being used as a temporary runway instead.
The upgrade will resurface and strengthen the main runway for use by larger planes up to 90 thousand pounds; completion is expected in about a month.
USING BIG FAA GRANT
A $6.7 million FAA Airport Improvement Grant (AIG) grant received last summer is mostly-funding the project. ALDOT's matching share is 2.5% and the Airport Authority's another 2.5%
Wiregrass Construction, Inc. is the contractor; Volkert is the project's engineer.
