We thought you might be interested in some photos demonstrating the current status of the Telluride Regional Airport improvement project. Currently Phase II of a 3 part project is under way at the cost of approximately $21 million. This phase will upgrade the safety designation from B3 to a D3 designation. This is being accomplished with the addition of 250 feet of safety over run on either side of the centerline rather than the current 150 feet.
Additionally at either end of the runway a product called Emas (engineered material arresting system) will be installed. This product is used at Laguardia Airport in New York and Midway in Chicago. This higher rating will allow larger aircraft such as the Q 400 to service the airport. This 75 passenger aircraft has the endurance to fly direct to Telluride from the west coast and Texas. The new designation will be in place once the last phase of construction is completed by summer/fall of 2010.
