Improvement Project Closes KC Runways
The rehab project at Kansas City International is expected to continue through the end of the year.

Continuing runway rehabilitation work at Kansas City International Airport will close two of its three runways, leaving only 10,801-foot Runway 1L/19R in operation until the fall. In early July, as part of a $20 million FAA improvement grant, the intersection between 9,500-foot-long Runways 9-27 and 1R-19L was demolished in the continuing replacement of 1R-19L and more than 900 embedded light fixtures.
