Airport Runway Pavement Rehabilitation project information from Fiscal Year 2026 Budget (Project No. 23003)

Project Start Date: Fall 2023     

Estimated Completion Date: Winter 2026/2027

Project Manager: Karin Franklin 703-771-6674

Project Description:  Runway pavement condition is critical to the safe landing and takeoff for aircraft. The most recent pavement evaluation completed in 2015 recommended a combination of mill and overlay and surface treatment over the next five years in order to maintain and restore pavement condition. Survey and geotechnical work is required to identify the condition of the runway paving and the rehabilitation will likely include isolated repairs, milling, overlay, grooving and marking. Funding is anticipated from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Virginia Department of Aviation (DOAV) for this project and is determining the schedule of the design and construction phases.

Project Updates:  As of October 29, 2025 - The grants have been awarded and the construction contract has been executed. Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2026.  The project is expected to be completed in the Winter of 2026/2027.
