Pulice, a Flatiron Dragados company, is set to complete the second and final phase of the Mesa Gateway Airport Authority’s (MGAA) $44 million Runway 12R-30L Reconstruction project in September. The endeavor has demolished and reconstructed the 10,401-ft.-long and 220-ft.-wide runway (with 150-ft.-wide and 35-ft.-wide asphalt shoulders on each side) built in 1958 as part of the former Williams Air Force Base. The $19 million first phase, which began in September 2024 and was completed in June 2025, saw Pulice crews

rebuild the southern half of the runway, create an asphalt transition to the northern half and remove old infrastructure. The second phase began in October 2025 and is slated for completion later this year. Pulice officials said both phases will be completed ahead of schedule and below budget. This is an important project for the airport. “Runway 12R/30L is the longest runway at Mesa Gateway Airport,” Ryan Smith, an airport spokesman, told Construction Equipment Guide. “It serves as the primary commercial use runway and is the most frequently used. This runway is critical to airport operations. It is also the
closest runway to the passenger terminal complex. “The runway has reached the end of its useful life. Portions of it had been previously reconstructed. Approximately 1,000 feet of the runway threshold was reconstructed in 2015 and approximately 3,000 feet of the threshold was reconstructed in 2014. The area between the two reconstructed areas continually needed localized repairs due to the deteriorating concrete.” The project was designed in 2023. Dibble Engineering designed the runway portion, while Kimley-Horn & Associates designed Taxiway B2. see AIRPORT page 6
