Full depth reconstruction for taxiways Charlie, Charlie 1, Delta, and Echo was completed in December of 2020. This construction allowed the airport to increase the weight-bearing capacity of that pavement. The new asphalt is expected to last around 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance.

2018 Crack and Seal Runway 18/36 Rehabilitation

The Crack and Seal Runway Rehabilitation began on October 14, 2018, and was completed on November 2, 2018.  The Project Manager was Joe Sober, with KSA, and the Construction Manager was Charlie Bright, with the Univesity of Oklahoma.  The bid was awarded to Tri-City Seal Company from Tuttle, Oklahoma. 

Due to all the rain received in Norman during the course of the project, the timeline was extended out a few extra days.  The Airport personnel was hoping the two week time period would have been ample amount of time for the crack seal project to be completed, but since we had large amounts of rain during the project, the project timeline was extended.  The airport remained open during the entire construction project.  However, runway 18/36 was closed due to potential safety issues.
