This year Morristown Airport will be continuing its multi-year Keel Repair Project on Runway 5-23 that was previously delayed. In a project funded by the NJDOT, the Airport will repave the final 3,000 feet of the southern end of the runway. Similar to previous Keel projects, we will be repaving the center 50 feet. In order to retain the funding provided by the NJDOT, this project must be completed in the first half of 2017.
Phase 1 – Test Strip Runway 13-31 Closed – 6am Monday, May 15th through Friday, May 19th Runway 13-31 will be closed for five (5) consecutive days to allow for the paving of a test strip.
