Lane Construction takes off with $207M runway upgrade deal

ConDig (30-July–23)  Lane Construction has secured a $207.8 million contract to revamp the taxiway pavements at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Under the deal with the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Mid-Atlantic (NAVFAC MIDLANT), the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company, will repair three taxiways and carry out other related work.  

Work is expected to kick off in the fall and be completed by early 2028.

This is the second contract in recent years that the company has completed at Oceana NAS. Lane previously repaired Runway 14L-32R and the associated electrical airfield lighting, as well as constructed new 4-foot-wide taxiway shoulders in areas where the edge lighting systems were modified.

This latest win follows another recent $110 million contract in Virginia awarded to Lane earlier this year for the Newport News segment of the I-64 Hampton Roads Express Lanes (HREL). Lane is also constructing the $441 million 495 Express Lanes Northern Extension (495 NEXT) in the state.
