Giant trucks hauled away rocky remains of stripped pavement this week at the Greeley-Weld Airport for a project to improve its taxi lanes.
Airport manager Gary Cyr pointed to the newly barren hangars where pavement had long overstayed its welcome.
“They are gonna love this,” he said of the tenants who will return next month to freshly paved storage hangars.
The project, funded by a $600,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration, will replace 14,000 square yards of pavement with 3,500 tons of its new liquid counterpart.
The reconstruction comes just weeks after the airport took on extra traffic from the Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport closure for runway repairs.
“It was crazy here,” Cyr said. “We had to have two and three people working the line when it’s normally done by one.”
