Van Nuys Airport Completes $35.5 Million Taxiway Rehabilitation Project

Los Angeles World Airports has announced the successful completion of a $35.5-million, 15-month project to rehabilitate Taxiway A at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY). The work expands the taxiway's pavement life by 20 years, enhances safety and meets new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standards.

Rehabilitation of the 8,000-foot taxiway was accomplished in 12 phases and included full-depth asphalt taxiway reconstruction; installation of LED centerline and edge lights; airfield signage and pavement marking upgrades; taxiway geometry enhancements and infield grading and drainage improvements. Ninety percent of the project was federally funded under two Airport Improvement Program grants.

The Taxiway A Rehabilitation Project was managed by LAWA's Airport Development Program staff with HNTB Corporation as the engineer and Granite Construction Company as the general contractor. It is the second of two major projects completed over the past four years to rehabilitate the pavement of Taxiways A and B at KVNY.
