Google Earth Historical Imagery (4/11/2014) shows a 735 metres (2,411 ft) gravel runway with a small service building alongside. Trees are beginning to grow in spots along its length. The (4/13/2018) image shows the service building has been demolished and the trees are well developed and encroaching the runway centerline.

The La Romana VOR/DME (Ident: LRN) is 14.6 nautical miles (27.0 km) west-southwest of the runway.[4]
