SEATAC, Wash. (AP) — The Port of Seattle says the closure of the center runway at Sea-Tac Airport this summer should not affect flight schedules or passengers.
Work is beginning this week on a 60-day project to replace about 150 of the 4,000 concrete panels on the runway that have been cracking. The runway was originally built in 1969 and more than 400 of the panels already have been replaced. A full replacement is scheduled for 2016.
Air traffic will be routed on two other Sea-Tac runways during the construction.
