Heads Up ACV Travelers: Airport Road Closes Thursday for Repairs, Alternate Entrance in Place

Press release from the Humboldt County Department of Aviation:

California Redwood Coast Humboldt County Airport (ACV)

Repair work on Airport Loop Road at the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport (ACV) in McKinleyville will take place this week on June 25 and 26.

Airport operations will not be impacted, however, due to the work required to make these improvements, a temporary airport entrance will be in place on Thursday, June 25.

Airport visitors are encouraged to plan accordingly.

What to Expect

Repair work on Airport Loop Road includes chip sealing, which is a cost-effective preventative maintenance treatment that helps extend the life of roads, and painting. This work is anticipated to take place between 8 a.m. and approximately 5 p.m. or later on June 25 and 26, weather permitting.

To complete the repairs, Airport Loop Road will be temporarily closed on Thursday, June 25. To access the airport, travelers will enter the airport from Baadsgaard Avenue. This detour will allow vehicles to access the curbside passenger drop-off and pick up area in addition to the airport parking lot.

It is expected that Airport Loop Road will reopen on Friday, June 26, however, parking in front of the airport terminal may be very limited. The road crew will be actively working, and airport visitors should plan to see flaggers in the project area.

To ensure the safety of the road crew and traveling public, motorists are asked to drive cautiously, watch out for workers and pedestrians, and follow all directions and traffic control instructions and in the project area.

Airport visitors are encouraged to plan to arrive early and allow for extra time when traveling to and from ACV.

Thank you for your patience as the county works to make these improvements.
