A paving project is in the job jar for Prince George Airport.

On Sunday, the main road to the terminal will be milled to prepare for resurfacing and weather permitting, the actual paving will begin next Wednesday.

Traffic will be restricted to a single lane and drivers can expect a rough surface.

Altimeter Road and Beacon Road, as well as the extension to the airport's long-term parking lot will also be paved.

"Motorists should drive slowly and watch for signage and workers," airport officials advised.

Also, the dates and times for firefighter training at the airport have been set for this month.

They are Fri., Sept. 13, 1:30-3 p.m.; Mon., Sept. 16, 7-9 a.m. and 1:30-3 p.m.; Mon., Sept. 23, 1:30-3 p.m.; Thurs., Sept. 26, 1:30-3 p.m.; Fri., Sept. 27, 1:30-3 p.m.

"At times, smoke may be seen coming from the airport grounds. Fires are lit and quickly extinguished in a controlled, self-contained environment, and the public is not at risk," officials said. "Live fire training is a mandatory component of airport operations training."
