KVNY Taxiway B Rehab Complete
/Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) announces the successful completion of a $29.7 million, 14-month project to reconstruct Taxiway B at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY). Completed on time and on budget, the work extends the taxiway’s pavement life by over two decades, increases safety and meets new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standards.
Reconstruction of the 8,800-foot taxiway was accomplished in nine phases and included full-depth asphalt pavement reconstruction, including taxiway shoulder construction, new markings, installation of LED centerline and edge lights, upgraded signage, new jet blast resistant fencing, and grading and drainage improvements.
The Taxiway B Rehabilitation Project was managed by LAWA’s internal Planning and Development Group with HNTB Corporation as the engineer of record and Griffith Company as the general contractor.
The Taxiway B Rehabilitation Project is the first of two federally-funded projects to reconstruct the main north-south taxiways at VNY over three years. The FAA Airport Improvement Program is funding 90% of the construction cost for both projects.
Later this month, work will commence on a $35.4 million, 16-month project to rehabilitate Taxiway A, located on the west side of the runways.
