In general, the plan was to complete all preliminary work by the time the contractor’s asphalt plant could re-open in March. “We were able to limit the duration of impacts by developing multiple construction phases and using around-the-clock construction,” says Rich Lasdin, P.E., the company’s project manager. Instead, they decided to close the entire runway in early 2019 and complete the reconstruction all at once to create a smooth, uninterrupted finished surface.ĭuring the design process, project engineer McFarland Johnson worked with the airport to understand and mitigate potential disruptions to flight operations. ![]() Officials considered dividing the reconstruction in two, with part of the project ending in fall 2018 and the remainder wrapping up in spring 2019. “We thought about all the angles on this project and how to get it done-not just from the airport’s standpoint, but also how we could help out our contractor,” says Freeman. At that point, airport officials began planning for its replacement. In its 2017 pavement evaluation, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation deemed the main runway as mostly fair, but with poor conditions along the edges. “We have had a lot of wear and tear on the runway,”įor instance, when former President Obama vacationed on the island, a bevy of military support aircraft came, too. “Our fleet dynamic has changed over time from the ATR 42s of the ’90s to more mainstream regional jets,” explains Deputy Airport Director Geoffrey Freeman. So for some operators, MVY is essentially a single-runway airport. The airport also has a 3,328-foot secondary runway, but it cannot support commercial carriers or large private jets. Prior to the recent project, MVY’s 5,504-foot main runway was last reconstructed in 1991.

Liquid Asphalt Supplier: C L Noonan Transportation Liquid Asphalt Vendor: All States Materials Operator: Martha’s Vineyard Airport Commission The airfield also accommodates Cape Air’s year-round schedule with Cessna 402s and a variety of private jets. Located on a picturesque island about seven miles off the coast of Cape Cod, MVY handles a mix of seasonal commercial traffic provided by JetBlue, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, all flying Embraer 175s and 190s. JetBlue Airways resumed its seasonal flights on May 17. Racing against time, crews laid asphalt daily-sometimes seven days a week-from late March until May 13. In spring, Martha’s Vineyard Airport (MVY) completed a $10.5 million reconstruction of its main runway two days early. When the airport is also on an island, every worker and load of materials must be carefully choreographed to finish the project on time. ► A young man says to a young woman, "I can think of something we can do that does not require any clothes."
