TYLER, Texas — A ribbon cutting was held today at the Historic Aviation Museum to officially open runway 4-22.
Construction began four years ago to widen and lengthen the runway.
The runway is now capable of carrying much heavier loads and provides extended length for landing and takeoffs.
In total, the budgeted cost for the project was approximately $48 million dollars, with 90 percent of the cost covered through Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grants.
