Akutan Airport Construction
Project 51196

The purpose of this project is to construct a new airport on Akun Island to serve the Akutan Community. The airport will consist of a 4,500-foot paved runway, taxiway, apron and 3-bay SREB and Sand Storage Building. Improvements on Akun Island will also include a hovercraft facility site consisting of a ramp and pad. The hovercraft facility and the airport will be linked by a 3,000-foot long access road.  This project will also construct a hovercraft facility at the Head of Akutan Bay. This facility will include a ramp, pad and a hovercraft maintenance building. The existing amphibious ramp will be expanded to accommodate the hovercraft as well.

The Department will develop this project through the Design-Build process. HDR Alaska Inc. is the Design-Build Bridging Consultant in support of these efforts.
