The Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport is making some upgrades. Plans were announced last week to refurbish a section of runway pavement and replace a deteriorating culvert following an annual inspection and report issued by the FAA. Airport officials took proactive measures to seal the affected areas to prevent additional water intrusion and potential for further deterioration. A repair plan was approved by the FAA to fix the drainage culvert while also addressing any resultant pavement distresses. That was approved and will cost $600,000. The culvert replacement work on the runway is expected to take place in May and will take approximately 16 hours to complete, including night work. Flights may be affected but passengers will be alerted ahead of time.
