Runway 4L-22R Rehabilitation Project – Nightly & Weekend Closures
Runway 4L-22R will be closed for rehabilitation work as part of a $121 million rehabilitation project, with continued periodic nightly weekday closures as operationally required. While the most extensive phase of construction concluded last year, ongoing work is necessary to complete this major infrastructure project safely and efficiently.
To minimize operational impacts during this period, the FAA will redirect flight activity to the airport’s other runways. While Runway 4L-22R is closed, Runways 4R-22L and 11-29 will remain operational. Adverse weather and other construction activities may limit use of alternate runways.
Passengers are advised to check with their airline for any updates as flight delays, schedule changes, or diversions may occur.
