The construction zone has been extended into the “A” Line and a 10′ travel lane has been created.
The follow me has been positioning itself on the outer edge of the construction zone near the drive lane. This is subject to change as construction progresses.
Be mindful while traveling through the travel lane as it is narrow.

Asphalt has been laid in font of the WACS building as well as new concrete
The doors to the lobby will be unlocked on Saturday 4/15/2017 for use.
DO NOT drive on the new concrete as it is not load bearing. Golf carts are the only vehicles permitted on the new concrete.
We will NO LONGER be using the VIP Room as an entrance/exit to the building as the Main Entrance is now open.
Update 1
4/12/2017
New concrete at ramp lobby doors has been poured.
Two asphalt test strips are going in adjacent to the new concrete entry on Thursday. If they pass inspection, we will open the ramp lobby doors for use on Saturday and close the VIP door.
The shade ports are expected to be completely down by Friday, April 14. This has changed a bit due to possible impending weather next week.
Effective Monday, April 17, the barricades at the western edge of the current construction area will be moved West so that milling can begin in that area. They will leave a 10′ drive lane between the grass line and barricades for our shuttles to use.
Aircraft storage that has been used on the “A” line will move to the “D” line. All stored aircraft are to be positioned as far West of the actual painted line on “D” to ensure that we are not blocking the nearby hangars. No aircraft are to taxi from the “D” line but rather will need to be re-positioned to WACN for departure.
We are still anticipating opening the lobby ramp doors up on Saturday morning, April, 15. Dave T. will be on site to take down the temporary signage in the lobby and close up the VIP entrance.
The new concrete at the lobby doors IS NOT load-bearing and therefore is not to be driven on at any time with anything vehicles. The exception is the golf cart charging area by the Dispatch Office but nothing heavier than a golf cart.
