Planned Runway Closures – RHV and E16 July 16th – July 24th

We received notice today that the county plans on shutting down the runways and taxiways at RHV and E16 on various dates to complete the paving project at both airports. The schedule is as follows:

Monday July 16th – Friday July 20th – RHV
Survey crews and contractors will be operating on runways and taxiways to mark the surface and then do the final coat of paint on all surface markings.

  • Monday July 16th – Surveys at RHV, all runways and taxiways will be impacted at various times.
  • Tuesday July 17th – Friday July 20th – rolling closures of runways and taxiways using the same order that was used during the original project. Closures will start with Runway 31L, Taxiway Y, Runway 31R, Taxiway Z, Taxilane G and Taxilane F.

Pattern work will not be available at RHV during these dates/times.

Monday July 23rd – Tuesday July 24th – E16
San Martin will be closed to ALL traffic on these two dates.

As always CHECK NOTAMS for specific dates/times/changes in schedule before you fly.
