Kalamazoo Taxiway Project Cited

Mead & Hunt was awarded the Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan’s Award of Excellence for 2007. The association and the Michigan DOT presented the award for Mead & Hunt’s design of the Taxiway B relocation project at Kalamazoo / Battle Creek International.

The project was a result of the existing taxiway failing to meet FAA design standards for runway to taxiway centerline separation. The $3.1 million project involved the removal of the existing taxiway and construction of a new 3,500-foot by 50-foot air carrier taxiway with 20-foot paved shoulders and medium intensity taxiway lights in a new location.
