Airport to close some runways for repairs
The Honolulu International Airport will be closing some runways to make improvements next week.
Transportation officials are warning Ewa residents that there could be an increase in nighttime air traffic and more noise throughout the area.
The runway closures will redirect flights to the Reef Runway, which takes a flight path over Ewa communities.
The construction timeline depends on the weather. But they’re expecting to begin work Sunday night and continue through Saturday. The work will be done from 4:30 p.m. until 5 a.m. every night.
Officials from the Hawaii Department of Transportation say they appreciate the residents’ patience and understanding as they complete the work.
