This $5 million project grant from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration will strengthen 1,280 feet of Runway 1L/19R at airports associated with Bethel, Alaska. Funded through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and related COVID-19 and infrastructure investment programs, the project will increase the weight capacity of the runway to accommodate heavier aircraft and meet design standards. The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities will deliver the runway improvements by the September 2025 completion date. The infrastructure upgrades will benefit air transportation in Bethel by allowing for larger planes consistent with the FAA's strategic goals of safety, efficiency and global leadership in aviation.
