In addition, the airport installed new blast pads at each end of the runway.Seven-Day Shutdown The most challenging and noteworthy aspect of the project was closing the airport to commercial flights for seven days in September 2022. This allowed crews to reconstruct the portion of Runway 4-22 that intersects with Runway 15-33. Runway 15-33, the airports other option for commercial jets, was used while Runway 4-22 was being reconstructed. Throughout the work, general aviation traffic continued on PGDs third 2,600-foot runway, which is only used for that purpose.Wright Construction Group, general contractor for the project, worked around the clock to complete the work on the intersecting runways so commercial traffic could resume as soon as possible. Project planners scheduled the seven-day closure for September because it is the slowest travel time of the year for the area and PGD. Airport officials worked more than a year in advance with executives from Allegiant and other partners to ensure the seven-day shutdown would not cause too much disruption.
