North Carolina’s Lane Construction Corp. has been awarded a substantial $208 million contract for critical pavement repairs at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The awarded contract involves comprehensive repairs across multiple key taxiways within the air station, specifically targeting Taxiway Alpha in the first phase and Taxiways Bravo and Papa in the second. The work is set to commence in the fall of 2024, with an anticipated completion date of 2028.

The contract was announced in a press release from the contractor on July 29, highlighting the company’s continuing relationship with the naval facility. Lane Construction is no stranger to Naval Air Station Oceana, having previously completed a range of projects at the site. Their past work includes the repair of Runway 14L-32R, updates to its associated electrical airfield lighting systems, and the construction of new, 4-foot-wide taxiway shoulders where lighting systems were modified.

This contract marks Lane Construction’s second major win in Virginia this year. Earlier, the company secured a $110 million contract for the Newport News segment of the I-64 Hampton Roads Express Lanes. This project, which is part of a larger effort to alleviate traffic congestion on one of Virginia’s primary interstate roadways, showcases Lane’s growing portfolio of infrastructure projects in the region.

The upcoming repairs at Naval Air Station Oceana are critical to maintaining the operational integrity and safety of one of the Navy’s most vital air stations. With Lane Construction’s proven track record and expertise, the project is expected to proceed smoothly, ensuring the facility remains fully functional throughout the extensive repair process.
