California’s embattled Santa Monica Airport will be closed today through Thursday as crews continue the removal of pavement from the shortened Runway 3/21. The project, a step toward the airport’s planned permanent closure in 2028, involves the removal of approximately 750 feet of pavement and accompanying taxiways at each end of the runway, which were closed to aviation operations at the end of 2017, as the city reduced its length to 3,500 feet.
