Major runway work resumes today at Portland International Airport, with the side effect of bringing more small airplanes over McLoughlin Heights and the rest of the Vancouver area.
The north runway at PDX is being closed as work continues on a major extension of it. The project started last year and will last until next year, though it took a break for the summer.
While the runway is closed, the south runway has to pick up most of the slack. But at the busiest times, the airport uses its north-south crosswind runway, which brings planes low over Vancouver.
Most of the planes on that runway are the Horizon Airlines/United Express size.
