HISTORY, BACKGROUND and  DISCUSSION

Runway 5L/23R is the airport's 10,004 foot runway and an essential part of the heavy infrastructure required to serve large commercial/military aircraft.  The last surface treatment applied to runway 5L/23R was completed in 1998 in the form of a porous friction course.  That treatment has met its useful life and needs to be replaced next summer in order to maintain a safe and efficient operating environment at the airport. The design calls for a 4 inch mill and overlay, new blast pads at each end of the runway, and various electrical improvements.  The project also includes the paving of certain sections of the airport perimeter road.
