Upcoming Runway Construction & Closures

Good Morning,

 

In preparation for the continued Runway 5-23 Rehabilitation Project, MMU has scheduled construction for Runway 5-23 and Runway 13-31.

 

The first work will entail repair to a pot hole on the access road for the approach light system at the end of Runway 23. In order to repair this, it is required that Runway 5-23 be closed. We will also use this closure to perform some routine maintenance and painting on the runway.

 

The second half of the work, will entail milling and paving an overlay of 2,000 feet on Runway 13-31.

 

The following closures are currently scheduled:

 

MMU will be closed to fixed-wing aircraft on Saturday, August 4th from 0800L to 0900L to accommodate painting in the intersection of both runways.

The rain date for this closure will be Saturday, August 18th from 0800L to 0900L

 

Runway 5/23 will be closed on Saturday, August 4th from 0900L to 1400L.

Runway 13-31 will remain open during this closure.

The rain date for this closure will be Saturday August 18th from 0900L to 1400L

 

Runway 13-31 will be closed from 0600L Tuesday, August 14th through 1800L Thursday, August 16th. Runway 5-23 will remain open.

 

We are monitoring the weather forecast for this weekend, and will continue to keep you updated on the status of this work and corresponding runway closures.
