Upcoming Airfield Projects

  Saturday, May 19, 2012
Apron and Taxiway Overlay and New Control Tower in the pipeline at the airport.
 
 
With the Airport Master Plan update nearing completion, the next three airport improvement projects are being readied. 
 
About two years ago, the airport completed a runway overlay and lighting project to help the airport improve safety and handle heavier aircraft that are now using the airport.


Phase two and three of that project was for overlay and strengthening of  the airport's apron areas and main taxiway to those same weight standards.  Recently the airport received a $5.4 million dollar grantto begin those projects. Design is now completed and construction bids are being taken this month. If all goes as scheduled, the apron paving project will begin in July and be completed before the DNC comes to town in September. The taxiway projects would start sometime after the DNC Event. 


 

Also in the works is a new air traffic control tower for the airport. The FAA recently approved the site for the facility just to the north of the existing terminal building. Design of the tower is expected to be done this summer and fall and if grant funding can be obtained construction would be in the 2013- 2014 time frame. 
 
Please make sure we have current e-mails for individuals in your company so you can be kept up to date on these projects and any impacts that may affect operations at that airport.
 

Road Projects Around The Airport Well Underway.

  Tuesday, May 01, 2012
I-85 widening project is now under construction, Derita Road Project is in Design.
 


 

As part of the completion of the Charlotte I-485 Outer Loop Project, Interstate 85 north the outer loop is being widened from 4 lanes to 8 lanes and several overpasses are being widened and rebuilt. All these projects should make it much easier to get to and from Charlotte much easier and faster than it is today.


 

Construction on much of the project is well underway but will continue for at least another 12 to 18 months. Construction work will stop temporarily during major events like NASCAR races at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the upcoming DNC Convention.


 

One part of this project is the reconstruction of the Poplar Tent Road intersection on the north side of the airport. This road will be lowered from its existing height by about 4 feet which will help aircraft using runway 20 as the road is one of the obstructions preventing full use of the airport runway. The NCDOT plans to widen the road  into a 4 lane superstreet  and eliminate intersection left hand turns. This will change the traffic flow and cause drivers who come to the airport from the north and western areas to learn a new traffic pattern that they currently have not experienced before. Please visit the NCDOT website for full details on this project.


 

The other project that is in the planning stages is the widening of Derita Road, which is the main road used to access the Concord Regional Airport entrance. Plans call for widening from two lanes to 4 lanes with a median. 


 

Right of way acquisition for this project should begin later this year and construction is expected to begin sometime next year.  This is a project that the City of Concord is overseeing for the NCDOT.
