Waves batter the shoreline as crews work to repair the seawall at Cape Lisburne on Aug. 4, 2019. Major storms in 2011 and 2012 caused erosion to the previous structure, which impacted the use of the runway. Over five construction seasons, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Alaska District worked with 611th Civil Engineer Squadron to make repairs to the seawall and ensure protection of the runway from the elements.
