A major rebuild of Manhattan Regional Airport’s main taxiway is moving forward.

On Monday, the Airport Advisory Board received a report from Olsson Engineering officials about how the multimillion dollar project will bring the aging runway up to current Federal Aviation Administration standards.

Project manager Brian Coomes said Monday the taxiway is being rebuilt in multiple phases to avoid disruptions to charter flights and general aviation operations.
