Airport Facilities Update
Roundabout: NCDOT continues to work on the new two-way Terminal Drive project. The actual roundabout is complete, but the weather delayed the modified return loop, which is shown below. The next critical step is painting the roadway lines and installing new directional signage. 1 May is the new goal date to open the new traffic pattern.
ARFF: Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Facility. As the latest photo shows, the facility is dried-in, and work is moving along. September construction is scheduled to finish.
2-Commerical Hangar Development: Talbert & Bright is moving our project into the bid stage. These will be the largest hangars constructed by the airport.
Terminal Bathroom Renovation: The contract has been awarded, and work should begin mid-summer. The renovations will be state-of-the-art and showcase ideas for the full terminal renovation next year.
