FYI - delays @ Logan

[Slsguy]

Just read this in my local newspaper...

BOSTON (AP) - Logan International Airport plans to close one of its four main jet runways for resurfacing on weekends through October, which could mean delays for travelers.

Resurfacing work on the same 10,005-foot runway last summer created numerous travel delays, but work was done on both weekdays and weekends, depending on favorable weather conditions for construction work. This time, closings will happen only on weekends.

The runway closings begin this weekend, lasting from 10 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday each weekend through Oct. 25, according to the Massachusetts Port Authority, which operates the airport.

Well, isn't that just wonderful. It's not as if there are a lot of 'extra' runways at Logan. Wonder how that's going to impact my Oct 21 flight to Orlando. Dare to dream that they would be done by then.

Just be thankful it's not a single runway airport... with closures each night for lightcan replacements...

Dh used to fly into an airport in WVa that was so small they had a car drive in front of the plane at night, with it's headlights on in order to scare the deer off the runway!!! Yep, I guess I could have that issue!!!

Oh joy! i wonder how this will impact the flights during that time. Of course, I am particularly wondering how it will impact my flights to/from Orlando in October.
