HATTIESBURG, Mississippi — Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport will be closed through at least Thursday for resurfacing the facility's runways and taxiways.
Executive Director Thomas Heanue tells The Hattiesburg American (http://hatne.ws/1qAbbOp ) closing the runway reduces greatly the risk of aircraft and paving equipment getting in an accident.
Dunn Roadbuilders LLC of Laurel started preparatory work on the $3.14 million project on Sept. 2, and the airport shut down Saturday for the milling and overlay of the runway.
Heanue says the airport's runway was last repaved in 1992, and had started showing wear and tear the past few years.
The major paving should be finished by Friday, and the airport reopened. The final work on taxiways and other areas will continue into mid-October.
