King Salmon Airport Runway 18-36 Rehabilitation

Project # SFAPT00362

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF), in cooperation with the Alaskan Region of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is proposing to rehabilitate the pavement surfaces of Runway 18-36 at the King Salmon Airport.

Purpose & Need

Rehabilitation of Runway 18-36 needs to occur to keep King Salmon Airport in compliance with FAA regulations and to continue operating safely. Runway 18-36 pavement is beyond its useful life and a correction to the aligned taxiways are needed.

Project Description

The proposed project would:

• Rehabilitate, repave, groove and stripe Runway 18-36
• Rehabilitate, repave, and stripe blast pad
• Adjust existing lights along Runway 18-36

Depending on the method used to rehabilitate the surfaces, about 15,000 cubic yards of materials, or 2,800 dump trucks loads may need to come from a local material source. Construction is tentatively scheduled to take place in 2028 to 2029.

Status

The project is in the conceptional design phase. DOT&PF is seeking input from airport users and the public. The DOT&PF design team hosted a public open house on August 10, 2023. Graphics from this open house are provided on the Documents page. Additional comments are being accepted on the Public Involvement page.
