The Habersham County Airport runway will temporarily close from 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 11, and reopen at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12.

The closure goes into effect as crews complete work on the Runway Obstruction Free Area project and dressing of the shoulders.

Over the summer, Habersham County repaved the 5,500-foot runway. The $3 million project, funded mostly through the Federal Aviation Administration, lasted through the month of June and was completed in early July.

Anyone with questions about the closure can visit the fixed-based operator at the airport (1112 Airport Road, Cornelia) or call (706) 839-0247.
