The $993 million Karasabai Airstrip upgrade project is now 70% completed, with both the runway and the new terminal building well advanced.
The Special Project Unit of the Ministry of Public Works-led team, inclusive of community participation, is currently executing the installation of 8-inch-thick rigid paved concrete, engineered to a strength of 5,000 PSI to handle heavy-duty use.
The new terminal—a generous gift to the village from International Import and Supplies—is also well advanced. Modeled after the Aishalton terminal, this facility will provide a modern, comfortable space for passengers.
While the airstrip remains closed for final touches, the emergency road works connecting Karasabai to Lethem remain at a satisfactory level to ensure the community stays connected during this transition.
