Sullivan Lake, one of the most popular state-operated airports for recreational pilots, is receiving a new fence this fall in order to prevent runway incursions by vehicle traffic and recreational users.  Vehicles and people on the airfield can cause safety risks for pilots and aircraft operating at the airport. 

The existing 15 year-old wood fence is currently in disrepair, and will be replaced with a four foot high powder coated chain link fence with gates for pilot access.

In addition to a new fence, the wind cones at Sullivan Lake will be relocated and replaced to meet airport standards. 

In spring 2011 WSDOT will also install new runway reflective markers at the airport.

WSDOT Aviation is completing these projects as part of an ongoing effort to improve the safety and security at the state-operated airports.
