The Gila Bend Auxiliary Field Runway functions as an emergency landing option for military aircraft. The project scope included construction of a new 1,000-linear-foot concrete touchdown area at both runway ends, mill, and overlay for the remaining asphalt pavement, and construct asphalt shoulders along the new runway pavement. The total runway is 8,500 linear feet. Aircraft arresting gears are installed at both runway ends.
