A commercial airport in the United States will close completely for most of 2027, and that’s not something you often see…
This is being done so that the airport can undergo infrastructure improvements, intended to improve safety, access, efficiency, and long term operational reliability. No commercial or general aviation operations will be permitted at the airport during the closure, and there will be no access to the terminal during that time.
This closure will be to complete reconstruction of the existing runway, to meet current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. The runway will be shifted slightly to the west, and will also be widened by 50%, from 100 feet to 150 feet, in order to meet current FAA requirements.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
