The city of Pierre, South Dakota, has completed the rehabilitation of 6,880-foot Runway 7-25 at Pierre Regional Airport (KPIR). The $6.3 million project included a fresh asphalt surface, as well as new lighting and markings.

At the city commissioner meeting last week, officials approved the final pay application for the Runway 7-25 project, which was largely funded with state and federal grants, and accepted a proposal for a similar refurbishment of 6,900-foot Runway 13-3 from Morris Inc., the same contractor for the earlier project.
