- Expansion of the airport safety areas,
- Replacement of airport culverts,
- Construction of a new aircraft parking apron,
- Construction of a new airport access road,
- Replacement of snow removal equipment building,
- And replacement of airport lighting.
Project materials will be contractor furnished and are anticipated to be partially sourced from a river gravel bar in the nearby Kwemeluk Pass of the Yukon River.
