Aspen airport begins scheduled shutdown for runway work
The Associated Press
ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - The airport in this jet-set resort town began a
scheduled two-month shutdown on Monday so its lone runway can be replaced.
The $11.9 million project is scheduled to end in June, with reopening
planned for June 7.
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport officials said the 7,000-foot runway has not
been overhauled since 1983. Weather conditions at the airport's 7,815-foot
elevation can be hard on runway surfaces, they said.
The airport recorded 44,679 takeoffs and landings last year.
