ST. PAUL, MINN. – Construction at Lake Elmo Airport (21D) continues with earthwork grading and hauling operations throughout the spring and summer. Bituminous roadway patches were placed on the old portion of 30th Street to repair areas that had deteriorated and will continue to be monitored and repaired throughout construction. Phase 3 of the runway replacement project is currently out for bid and is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2021.
For more information, a construction update and fact sheet with additional details on the storm water management plan and mechanical evaporators, have been posted on the Lake Elmo Airport Construction website: https://metroairports.org/general-aviation/airports/lake-elmo/lake-elmo-airport-construction.
