Abstract
The Greensburg Municipal Airport completed the construction of Runway 1-19 on a new alignment in 2022. Runway 1-19 is 5,405-ft long × 100-ft wide and replaced the existing Runway 18-36 that was 3,430-ft long × 40-ft wide. This was a multi-year construction project with a broad scope that included land acquisition; construction in a flood-way; grading and drainage; paving and electrical; and extensive FAA coordination. Challenges and successes will be discussed.
