Miami County airport runway to close for seal coating and apron overlay in mid-April
Summary
County staff announced the airport will close April 14 through the remainder of the month for runway crack-seal removal, seal coating, striping and a 2-inch concrete overlay of the terminal apron; contractor McConnell plans seven-day work to minimize downtime.
County staff informed the commission that the Miami County airport will be closed beginning April 14 through the remainder of April for runway maintenance work including removal of existing crack-seal material, grinding of surface paint and striping, crack sealing, application of a seal coat and subsequent runway striping. The north concrete apron at the terminal will receive a two-inch overlay.
Staff said McConnell is the contractor and that a preconstruction meeting already occurred. The contractor indicated an intention to work seven days a week to minimize downtime; with favorable weather, staff said work could be completed by the end of the month. Airport staff said the onsite restaurant is expected to remain open and that small-craft traffic could be accommodated using the turf runway side where operationally feasible.
No closure of airport services beyond surface work was announced, and staff did not present a budget for the project during the report. The announcement was delivered as an informational staff report rather than a board action item.
