The Notice to Airmen for this project was scheduled to be lifted on Thursday, May 9, or once all remaining concerns are adequately addressed. This is ahead of the original target date of May 31.Since April 8, the DIA runway has been closed for four hours each day, from midnight to 4 a.m. to expedite the rehabilitation process.
