SUBJECT: Project Status Update # 10
Project Scope: Keene Dillant-Hopkins Airport (EEN) is working on a taxiway reconstruction
project on the airfield for taxiways ‘A’, A3’ and ‘T’. The existing pavement has served its design
life and is being reconstructed. The Scope of Work items will include but not be limited to erosion
control, demolition, lighting, storm drainage, grading, paving, and marking and turf restoration
for disturbed areas.
Project Update: Construction is scheduled to resume Monday April 20, 2026 and tentatively
scheduled to complete on Friday June 5, 2026. This is a period of 47 days. During this time there
will be periods of time that portions of TXY A as well as TXY C and TXY T will be closed. There will
be days when daily closures happen to runways, but not both runways at the same time.
NOTAMS will be issued in advance and Project Status Updates will be issued.
Upcoming Impacts:
- Thursday 4/16/26 Runway 14/32 will be closed between 7:30 am local and 3:30 pm local.
In reality the work should only take 2 or 3 hours and the runway will reopen when work is
complete. - Monday 4/20/26 through Monday 4/27/26 Taxiway A between Taxiway T and Taxiway A2
will be closed. - Monday 4/20/26 through Friday 5/1/26 Taxiway C will be closed.
- Monday 4/20/26 through Friday 4/24/26 Runway 02/20 will be closed from 7:30 am local
to 3:30 pm local. When possible a 1 hour prior permission required exception will be made,
it depends on the work happening each day to determine if the PPR will be possible. - Monday 4/27/26 through Friday 5/1/26 Taxiway A between Runway 14/32 and Taxiway
A2 closed. - Monday 4/27/26 through Friday 5/22/26 Taxiway T closed. During this time there will be
no way to get a plane in or out of the T-Hangar area.
Keene Airport staff, our engineering team and the contractor are committed to ensuring that the
work proceeds efficiently and safely. We all aim to reduce impacts to tenants and users of the
Airport as much as is possible.
