Reminder - The runway at the Aurora State Airport will close for 6 days* starting 7:30am Monday October 20th to cut grooves and apply final markings. Updates and estimated reopening times will be shared in additional outreach throughout the project.

(!) At the time of this notice, the runway is not grooved. This means braking performance may be reduced, especially in wet conditions.

*Reopening dates and times are subject to change. We will reopen the runway as soon as possible, and will share updates as soon as new information is available.

UAO Segmented Circle

The Project:

This project will fully repave the runway to repair extensive cracking and surface delamination, as well as correct non-standard grading of the crown.

Important Operating Information:
