The Air Force is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to restore the island airfield that launched the atomic bombings of Japan, according to the construction company awarded the contract.

The U.S. Air Force Installation Contracting Agency awarded Fluor, a global construction company based in Irving, Texas, a five-year, $409 million contract, the company said in an April 10 news release. The work includes laying new pavement at North Field on the island of Tinian.
