Work is slated to get underway May 12th to repave of the main
runway at Gadsdens Northeast Alabama Regional Airport. Runway 624 runs east to west and is 7,000
feet long. The runway was last repaved
some 10 years ago and the new project will include repairing the underpinnings
of the runway where needed, and a complete repaving. McCartney Construction submitted the low bid
of about $2.1 million and will have 95 working days to complete the project.
The airport’s Instrument Landing System will be turned off during the
work. The Federal Aviation
Administration has awarded the airport an additional $150,985 to repair cracks
and seal Taxiway Alpha, which serves the main runway. The taxiway will be
completely redone in a couple of years.
