Update - Independence Taxiway, Taxilane, and Apron Closure 6/2/2026

Update -The Independence State Airport Taxiway, Taxilanes, and Apron closure for final markings application is scheduled for Tuesday June 2nd. 

This work was originally planned for the fall of 2025, but it was delayed due to weather. Because this work is weather dependent, it may be rescheduled again if necessary.

Final markings application will complete the Taxiway, Taxilane, and Apron Surface Project, which was substantially completed in September 2025 and included crack seal, asphalt patch repair, surface seal, and new pavement markings on the taxiway, taxilanes, and apron. 

The taxiway, taxilanes, and apron will be closed between 8am to 6pm Tuesday June 2nd. 

Closure times for specific work areas will be shared in a future update and published via NOTAMs.

We will work to keep the closure as short as possible, and reopen surfaces as soon as they are finished.

Important operating information

(!) When each work area is closed, any fixed wing aircraft behind the closed area will not be able to arrive or depart at Independence until that area reopens. Aircraft may relocate to the open portions of the apron prior to an upcoming closure to maintain access to the runway throughout the project.

(!!) 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. This includes all pedestrian, vehicle, and aircraft access.

(!!!!) Fuel will not be available while Work Area 4 is closed.

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