Improvements to the Chilliwack airport are expected to benefit all those who use it, from small commuter planes to search and rescue aircraft and more. Most of the undertakings center around upgrading the runway.
One improvement that has been completed is the extension of a culvert that is south of the runway. This was done through the installment of a ditch, which allowed for a strip width that is obstacle free. A metal culvert that had become corroded over time was also repaired. The work began this past August, and according to reports, it has largely been completed.
Chilliwack MLA John Martin remarked that he is pleased that the construction has been undertaken, as the growth of the facility can help to spur further economic growth in Chilliwack and the surrounding communities. A printer can create a variety of Promotional Products for distribution to local businesses and commercial enterprises that let them know how the airport improvements can benefit them.
The majority funding for this infrastructure project came from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, who provided a grant of $315, 584 form their B.C. Air Access Program. This initiative seeks to improve regional airports throughout the province. The remaining portion of the $420,779 price tag was met by the city, which is responsible for performing large capital improvements at the airport.
