Reconstruct runway lighting; reconstruct taxiway lighting; install runway visual guidance system; reconstruct airport rotating beacon

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region awarded $812,525.26 to the City of Arco on August 5, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to reconstruct airport lighting and navigation systems at Arco Municipal Airport in Arco, Idaho.

The project installs precision approach path indicator systems and runway end identifier lights at both thresholds of Runway 6/24 to bring the airport into conformity with current standards. Work includes reconstruction of the existing Runway 06/24 lighting system, reconstruction of the parallel taxiway lighting system, and reconstruction of one airport rotating beacon, all of which have reached the end of useful life. This award funds the final construction phase of the project. Performance runs through August 4, 2030, at the Arco airport location.
