Work on the signage and power upgrade is progressing steadily. All of the concrete sign pads, along with the conduit to power the signs that will be lit have been installed. The contractor has started installing the new signs while removing the existing signs. The lit signs will not be turned on until the electrical upgrade to the control tower is complete. Once that has been achieved, the contractor will return to remove all of the old concrete sign bases and light the signs which are required to be lit.
As part of the project, there will be four new taxiway designations:
- The stretch of pavement from the REACH ramp to the LCA hangars, crossing the approach end of Runway 14L and 14R will be Taxiway M.
- The current Taxiway A-2 will be known as Taxiway L.
- The short taxiway leading to the ap

proach end of Runway 32L will be Taxiway P.
- The short taxiway leading into the approach end of Runway 19L will be Taxiway N.
Airports staff are currently working to update the Airport Layout Plan, pilot guides, Airport Facilities Directory, and other publications.
As the electrical upgrade to the control tower progresses, the project calls for some nighttime closures of the airport. To date Buchanan Field Airport has been closed only one night due to construction. As the time for future closures approach, Airport staff will give tenants as much advanced notice as possible.
If there are any questions regarding the signage and electrical upgrade project or nighttime closures please call the Director of Airports' office at (925) 646-5722.
