After a seven-week closure, a newly renovated runway at Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport (RUT) is now open, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) reported, July 3 in a Facebook post.
“The runway has been rehabilitated with fresh pavement and LED runway edge lights, which are already a hit with pilots touching down and taking off,” VTrans stated.
Another closure of the runway will take place in July and August to apply final paint markers with reflective components, and for grooving of the runway, which improves drainage. These upgrades serve AOT’s commitment to keeping Vermont’s aviation infrastructure safe, modern, and high performing, the agency noted.
