Aircraft utilizing EUG will use the east parallel runway during <br />construction, which is used daily by general aviation traffic and often by <br />commercial traffic when maintenance is being performed on the main <br />runway. <br /> <br />The bulk of the project will be completed in June with construction crews <br />operating 24-hours-a-day for 28 days, with an allowance for rain delays. <br />The project includes resurfacing the full 8,009-foot length of the runway, <br />grade corrections and building runway shoulders to current design <br />standards, reconstruction of Taxiway A6, replacement of runway lights, and <br />installing an in-pavement temperature sensor system. Finish-work, <br />including grooving and pavement markings, will be completed by the end of September 2010. <br /> <br /> <br />For more information on this project, contactDirector of Marketing and Public Relations Cathryn Stephens at <br />cathryn.e.stephens@ci.eugene.or.us or 541-682-5430. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />June 3, 2010 <br />
