A, and (3) to rehabilitate dock area taxi lanes at Bangor International Airport (BGR). Taxiway N is the
oldest on the airfield and is showing significant cracking. Taxiway A runs parallel to the runway and is
showing signs of significant wear due to the frequency and weight of aircraft. Lastly, the area
surrounding the dock hangars is showing cracking and is exhibiting concrete damage, which creates a
safety hazard. All areas will be reconstructed. This project is included in BGR's FAA approved 5 -year
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This grant will fund 90% of the project with the additional 5% coming
from the State and 5% coming from the airport.
