AIRPORT COMPLETES TAXIWAY CHARLIE PROJECT

SIOUX CITY, IA – Glenn Januska, Director of the Sioux Gateway Airport/Col. Bud Day Field, announced today the completion of the Taxiway Charlie project. Construction on the $4.3 million dollar project, 95% funded by a federal grant, started last fall. The project removed approximately 35 acres of abandoned WWII pavement and recycled it into the new taxiway pavement section. Recycling and reusing the pavement materials on the project substantially reduced the overall cost of the project and prevented a large amount of construction waste from having to be land filled. At 14 inches thick, the concrete volume used for the project would equate to approximately 2 miles of interstate highway.

“With the new section of taxiway complete, it now enhances aircraft ground movement to the north end of the airfield, reducing fuel cost and departure times,” said Januska.
