Independence Taxiway, Taxilane, and Apron Surface Seal Project

The Independence State Airport Taxiway, Taxilane, and Apron Surface Seal Project will begin September 2nd, 2025.

This project will include crack seal, asphalt patch repair, surface seal, and new pavement markings on the taxiway, taxilanes, and apron. 

Starting September 2nd, The taxiway, taxilanes, and apron will be closed in 5 different work areas over 17 days. the runway will remain open throughout most of the project, but may be closed for 2 days.  All surfaces will reopen as soon as work in those respective areas is completed. Additional outreach will be sent as updates become available.

(!) When the runway is closed, fixed wing aircraft will not be able to arrive or depart at Independence until the runway reopens. When the runway is open during construction, back-taxi may be required depending on taxiway closures. Limited portions of the apron and taxilanes may be available for parking or access to hangars. 

(!!) Please check NOTAMs for closure times and the most current airport surface closures. Helicopters may arrive or depart directly to/from open areas of the airport. As always, please remain outside of, and avoid low flight over closed work areas.

Thank you for your patience while we maintain the Independence State Airport.
