Trending...
~ Falcon Field Airport, located in Mesa, Arizona, has recently completed a major reconstruction project on a portion of its Anzio Ramp. This upgrade not only enhances the airport's infrastructure but also brings it up to current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. The reconstruction began in August 2024 and was completed with the final application of paint to surface-painted markings on December 24.

The project, which was funded by the Arizona Department of Transportation through an Airport Development Reimbursable Grant Agreement, had a total cost of $577,759. Woolpert, Inc. served as the design engineer, Neve Construction as the construction contractor, and the City of Mesa Engineering Department provided construction management services.

The Anzio Ramp was originally constructed in 1992 and was named after the Battle of Anzio during World War II. This recent reconstruction marks the first major upgrade to the pavement since its initial construction. Prior to reconstruction, the ramp's Pavement Condition Index score was 51, indicating poor condition.

One of the notable outcomes of this project is the creation of one new aircraft tie-down position with plans for two additional positions to be constructed in the future.

Corinne Nystrom, Airport Director at Falcon Field Airport expressed her excitement about this achievement stating that "the completion of the Anzio Ramp reconstruction is a noteworthy achievement for our airport." She further added that this upgrade not only modernizes their infrastructure but also strengthens their foundation for businesses and operations that rely on them.

The reopening of the Anzio Ramp is expected to improve operational efficiency and support continued growth for Falcon Field Airport and its associated businesses. This significant upgrade is a testament to the airport's commitment to progress and its dedication to providing top-notch services to its users.
