McMinnville Municipal Airport Runway 4-22 Rehabilitation

Runway
The McMinnville Municipal Airport has reopened! Runway 4/22 and 17/35 are now open at full length.  Pilots need to check NOTAM’s (Notice to Airmen) for infield conditions and navigational aid outages. The project is not complete and some work remains which will need to be completed when there is a drier stretch of weather.  We thank everyone for their patience as the City works with the Kerr Contractors to finish the remaining milestones.

 

This project consist of the rehabilitation of RW 4-22 (5,420’x150’) at McMinnville Municipal Airport (MMV). The project includes all environmental investigations, studies, design, construction administration, and construction of the improvements necessary to complete the project.

RW 4-22 was last rehabilitated/reconstructed in 1992, and is beyond its 20 year useful service life. A Pavement Condition Index (PCI) study conducted in 2012 determined a PCI rating that ranged from 61 to 58 (fair) for RW 4-22. That same study predicts the surface will deteriorate to a PCI range of 50-46 (poor) by 2017. In addition to pavement rehabilitation, the existing edge lighting system (HIRL) is approximately 30 years old and beyond its useful life. The project will provide for replacement of the HIRL system with new fixtures, transformers, conduits and conductors.

Current pavement distress symptoms include longitudinal and transverse cracking, raveling, weathering, isolated rutting and alligator cracking.  Due to its current and projected condition, FAA has recommended the rehabilitation of RW 4-22 as a high priority project for the region, and plans to support the project with approximately $7.8M in Federal funds to plan, design, and construct the project. The project is consistent with the FAA’s guiding principles for the National Airport System, and will help make sure that the airport is safe, efficient, and maintained to the appropriate standards.  Upon completion of the project, and with proper maintenance, the runway will have a service life of at least 20 years.

The City has also successfully applied for an ODOT Connect Oregon IV Grant for $786,083.20 which is estimated to be the City’s 10% Match for the project.
