Taxiway B Update

Taxiway B was substantially complete (90%) as of December 20, 2022.  Staff made the decision to keep the taxiway closed in coordination with our FAA safety inspector due to minor punch list items that must be finished prior to safely opening.    These items include grading in the safety areas and filling in with dirt to mitigate 3” lips on the edge of the pavement, and installation of permanent markings. All of the items remaining are weather dependent and cannot be completed until we have at least three consecutive days of 45+ degree temps, no rain, and minimal wind.  While we have had unseasonably warm days, they have included high winds – not conducive to the work to be completed.  We hope the next couple of weeks work in our favor so the remaining items can be finalized. We remain in close contact with Emery Sapp and Sons and hold a substantial retainage fee to ensure the project is completed satisfactorily.
