Homer Airport Improvements

The purpose of this project is to extend the useful life of runway and taxiway infrastructure at the Homer Airport. This project proposes to rehabilitate the pavement and Runway Safety Area for Runway 4-22, rehabilitate Taxiways A and B on the southeast side of the runway, resurface the General Aviation Apron (southeast side of runway), pave the gravel portion of the General Aviation Apron at the northeast end, remove existing pavement from Taxiway D to convert it to an airfield maintenance road, and construct a new airport maintenance road along the inside of the perimeter fence. Electrical system improvements will include replacement of the runway and taxiway lighting systems as well as lighted taxiway signs. Drainage improvements will include replacement of various culverts along the runway and taxiways, and regrading of drainage areas around the runway and taxiways to improve surface runoff.

Environmental Assessment

Environmental investigations and analysis of design options are currently in progress and will continue throughout 2021. Virtual public meetings specific to this project will be held later this year to provide more detailed information about the proposed work and schedule, and to receive input from airport users and the public.

Design

Preliminary design engineering is currently underway and will continue through 2021. Design completion is anticipated in early 2022.

Construction

Advertising for construction bids is anticipated in spring 2022. Construction is planned for the summer seasons of 2022 and 2023.

During construction, portions of the airfield will be closed to aircraft traffic. Aircraft access to the commercial and general aviation aprons will be maintained throughout construction. The runway will remain operational at half-width to facilitate takeoffs and landings while construction is underway on the closed half.
