Construction ahead Published July 23, 2015 By Senior Airman Harry Brexel 19th Airlift Wing Public Affairs LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. -- (Vandenberg Boulevard will be under construction from 25 July to 28 July. Heavy delays should be expected.) Little Rock Air Force Base is currently undergoing one of the largest construction projects in the base's history. The $108 million runway upgrade is a well-known project; however, a multitude of other projects are taking place to ensure the safety of Airmen and the future viability of base infrastructure. From 25 July to 28 July, incoming traffic on Vandenberg Boulevard will be reduced to a single lane. It will reduce speeds in the construction zone, which will consist of an area near the intersection of Vandenberg Boulevard and US-67. To reiterate, the routine maintenance construction will only affect inbound Vandenberg Boulevard traffic to the base. Other summer road repairs can be seen on the base as well. The current and planned road construction projects include an area of Lachmund Drive near the Child Development Center, the parking lot of the Walters Community Support Center and Cannon Drive near the Base Exchange. "Base drivers will notice ongoing road construction for the rest of the summer through early fall. To ensure safety, drivers need to be aware of and follow road signs," said Jennifer Harris, 19th Civil Engineer Squadron deputy base civil engineer. Airmen from the 19th CES will continue to make smaller road repairs where needed.
