Runway closure
Salina, Kan., (August 27, 2009) - The Salina Municipal Airport primary
runway will be closed from September 8 to 27 due to airport improvement
construction. Runway 4-22 will periodically be shut down during this
time.
During the closure, crews will place asphalt and complete the LED taxiway
lighting installation.
"It's all going to come together in those 20 days," said Kenny
Bieker, the Authority's manager of facilities and construction.
"They will remove the remainder of the concrete shouldering. Right
now the only thing it is doing is causing a FOD problem."
When pavement deteriorates, the biggest problem is that it starts to
unravel and create an unsmooth surface to land on and foreign object debris
issues. It, along with the other taxiways, has exceeded its expected
life. Improvements will also be made to the shoulders of taxiway
Alpha, Charlie, Delta and Echo.
