Improvements and Construction

During the summer of 2002 the Airport is planning several significant construction projects with an approximate cost of $4.5 Million. These include:

Rehabilitation of Runway 6/24;
Rehabilitation of Taxiways A, B and C;
Rehabilitation of airfield lighting systems;
Installation of additional security fencing;
Installation of Runway 6 Instrument Landing System, MALSAR;
Installation of PAPI both ends of runway.

Due to the extensive work to be accomplished on the runway, the runway will be closed for about 60 days this summer. During that time, a portion of the parallel taxiway will be converted into a temporary day/night visual approach runway, approximately 6000' x 75'. The anticipated time frame for the main runway closure is all of July and August 2002.

Once the runway work is completed and the runway is reopened, the Taxiways A, B and C will be closed for approximately 60 days (September and October).

Installation of the new Instrument Landing System is expected to take place in 2003. Once the new ILS is operational, the existing ILS/DME approach to Runway 24 will be terminated.

As always, but especially this summer, check NOTAMs before flying into the Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport.
