JFK Airport Runway Megaproject Approaching On-Time Arrival

[AirtrafficController]

Will both 22R/4L and 31L/13R be closed for two weeks in September or only 4L/22R? I'm reading conflicting reports.

A portion of 31L/13R will be closed, not the entire runway.

Aside form Matt's article, does anyone know where more pictures of the construction and current appearance can be found? And which are the new 'high speed' taxiways I've read about?

There's a slideshow here: http://www.panynj.gov/airports/jfk.html


Here's my updated story about the completed project: http://nycaviation.com/2010/06/29/kenne ... in-budget/

A portion of 31L/13R will be closed, not the entire runway.

There is some conflicting info, we're going to try to iron it out tomorrow.

What is certain is that 3263 feet of 13R/31L where it intersects with 4L/22R is closed now and will remain closed until September (I think).
