FAA lifts opposition to U S 169 bypass near Chanute
The FAA withdraws its objection to the U S 169 bypass if an alternate crosswind runway at Martin Johnson Airport is feasible. A qualified aviation consultant must verify the runway plan, and the bypass must not hinder airport operations. DOT says construction could begin next spring with about 51.39 million dollars allocated for 27 miles of new super two highway.
