Notice - Oakridge State Airport Runway Closure - Reconstruction Project Starting 6/01/2026

The Oakridge State Airport (5S0) Runway Rehabilitation project will begin Monday June 1st, 2026.

This project will provide a new runway and taxiway, improved pavement and shoulder grading, and new supplemental solar lighted windcones. The runway will be stronger, and new concrete stands will be included to better support heavy firefighting aircraft and support equipment. 

Project/Closure Schedule:

• The runway, taxiway, and apron will be closed the morning of Monday June 1st.
• We expect substantial completion and to reopen the runway by July 31st.
• The runway will be closed for the duration of the project. 

During construction, the airport will be closed to all aircraft. Once the project begins, any fixed-wing aircraft at 5S0 will not be able to depart until the airport reopens after construction is completed. 

Important Operating Information

(!) For the most current updates on field conditions and surface closures throughout this project, please check the latest NOTAMs.

(!!) Due to airfield constraints and contractor staging areas, there will be no open areas for helicopters to utilize. All surfaces at the airport will be closed to aircraft, vehicles, and pedestrians.

(!!!) As always, please remain outside of, and avoid low flight over closed work areas.

We understand any runway closure impacts pilots and the community. Our goal is to maintain and improve the Oakridge State Airport so it can continue to operate safely and efficiently. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we maintain 5S0.
