Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has extended the closure period for its secondary 9,000-foot Runway 17L/35R, which began on June 6, through the end of October. An airport spokesperson told AIN that the initial contracting process took slightly longer than anticipated to implement, necessitating the change in timeline from the original early September completion date.
