Taxiway Alpha Rehabilitation

STARTING FEBRUARY 2026

Taxiway Alpha is the major parallel taxiway that supports all GA aircraft operations and Boeing 737s towed between the B ramp and C ramp on the west side of the field.

The existing pavement is showing stress, cracking, and rutting. This project includes a major reconstruction of the entirety of the taxiway and will include an LED lighting upgrade, infield drainage improvements, and painting.

  • Budget: ± $25,000,000
  • Funding: 90% FAA Grant / 10% Airport Leasehold Revenue
  • Start: Spring 2026
  • Expected Completion: 2027
  • Status: Pre-design & phasing

We anticipate the contractor to begin mobilizing their equipment and materials as early as February into the designated staging areas.

Special consideration will be made to tenants who will be affected by the work area directly between their operation and the closed taxiway. 800 and 820 aprons will be made available to tenants impacted by this project.

Graphic representations of the proposed phasing of the Taxiway Alpha Rehab project in 2026:

Written version of our phasing during 2026. This is a working timeline and may change slightly throughout the project:

1. Work Area 1 (WA1): 35 continuous calendar days closed. Closure = 24hrs.

  1. Work Area Runway 1 (WA R1): Finish before WA1 is complete. 14 continuous calendar days. Closure = Full Length of Runway from Noon -10PM daily.
  2. Work Area 2A (WA2A): Finish before WA1 is complete. Up to 35 continuous calendar days. Closure = 24hrs.
  3. Work Area 2B (WA2B): Finish before WA1 is complete. Up to 7 continuous calendar days. Closure = 24hrs.
  4. Work Area Fire Water 1 (WA F1): Finish before WA1 is complete. Up to 35 continuous calendar days. Closure = 24hrs.
  5. Work Area Fire Water 2 (WA F2): Finish before WA1 is complete. Up to 5 continuous calendar days. Closure = 24hrs.

2. Work Area 3A (WA3A): Start after WA1 is complete. Up to 21 continuous calendar days. Closure = 24hrs.

  1. Work Area Runway 2 (WA R2): Finish before WA3A is complete. 14 continuous calendar days. Closure = Full Length of Runway from Noon -10PM daily. 

3. Work Area 3B (WA3B): Start after WA3A is complete. Up to 35 continuous calendar days. Closure = 24hrs.

4. Work Area 4 (WA4): Start after WA3B is complete. Up to 21 continuous calendar days. Closure = 24hrs.

  1. Work Area Runway 4 (WA R4): Finish before WA4 is complete. 14 continuous calendar days. Closure = Full Length of Runway from Noon -10PM daily. 

5. Work Area 5 (WA5): Start after WA4 is complete AND AFTER LABOR DAY. Up to 21 continuous calendar days. Closure = 24hrs.

  1. Work Area Runway 5 (WA R5): Finish before WA5 is complete. 14 continuous calendar days. Closure = Full Length of Runway from Noon -10PM daily. 

Shoreline Mitigation

This is the second phase of the 2013-2014 Seaplane Base Dredging & Shoreline Mitigation project. It will add rip-rap along the runway end edge adjacent to the seaplane launch ramp to prevent continued erosion of the shoreline.

  • Budget: $563,000
  • Funding: 100% Airport Leasehold Revenue
  • Start: TBD
  • Expected Completion: TBD
  • Status: Design phase
