Two major construction projects are currently underway at the Chadron airport…one to fill cracks and deal with other issues with the runways, and the other upgrading the runway and taxiway lighting.

Public works director Milo Rust says the work is requiring the airport to close from this Saturday through the end of the month.

Rust says both airline passengers and private pilots need to make other arrangements for the closure period.

Great Lakes Airlines has not said how it will deal with customers who’ve already booked flights into and out of Chadron during the closure dates.
