McKinney Airport runway closure to finish North Runway Extension work
Summary
City staff told the board a planned short closure this weekend will allow crews to remove temporary markings and install new approach and runway markings tied to the North Runway Extension; when finished the runway will be over 8,000 feet long.
Paul Grimes told the board the airport will close a runway for a weekend to remove temporary threshold markings and install new runway markings as part of the North Runway Extension project. He said the work has been planned since the project's inception and that closing the runway while crews paint is sensible.
Grimes said the runway extension will make the runway "over 8,000 feet when it's completed," and that the project primarily benefits general aviation operations rather than commercial passenger service.
