GEORGE LEWIS AIRPORT TO BE RESURFACED

August 19, 2020

At the Cedar Key Commission meeting this past Tuesday evening, August 18, Mr. David Harris, spokesperson for Passero and Associates Engineering, overviewed plans to resurface the George T. Lewis Airport in Cedar Key.  Beginning this week, the runway will be closed, its identification number being obliterated by a yellow “x,” and resurfacing equipment will arrive on site.  

Work will begin Monday, August 24, 2020.  The runway will be graded and compacted as a base and then paved and remarked.  Once curing is finished, Passero will repaint the markers and open the runway. 

The job is scheduled for 90 days.  Harris believes the job will be completed more quickly; the paperwork may take the full time.  The ressurfacing should last for ten to fifteen years.
