Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach Airport (LGB) is undergoing major electrical upgrades to improve the safety of its primary runway, Runway 12-30. The $9.5 million project, funded by an Airport Improvement Program grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), will bring the runway up to the latest FAA standards and add to the Airport's sustainability efforts.
The project includes replacing all electrical cable powering runway lights and navigational aids, as well as replacing all runway edge lights, centerline lights and runway end lights. Additionally, new LED bulbs will be installed which use between 75 percent and 90 percent less energy than incandescent or quartz lights. The runway will also be restored with new asphalt concrete, grooving and striping.
Due to safety setback requirements of the construction work, there will be temporary closures between March 29 and mid-July: Runway 12-30 will be CLOSED NIGHTLY, Sundays through Thursdays, from March 29 to mid-July. In addition, Runway 12-30 will be CLOSED DAILY, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from April 18 to May 24. Exact dates are subject to change. During these closures operations will occur on Runway 8L-26R instead.
