Newark Airport’s Closed Runway that Contributed to Weeks of Delays Will Reopen Ahead of Schedule
- Newark Liberty International Airport's Runway 4L-22R will reopen on June 2, nearly two weeks ahead of its original June 15 schedule.
- The closure began April 15 to repave and upgrade lighting and signage, and delays were worsened by seasonal weather and limited air traffic controllers.
- The $121 million project involved 24/7 work by the Port Authority, accelerating paving and striping to restore peak traffic capacity effectively.
- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy noted reopening will boost hourly flights from 28 to 34 and credited the Port Authority for having "crushed it on speed."
- Although the runway reopens, Newark will maintain reduced flight limits until October when new controllers join, aiming to improve congestion, safety, and travel experience.
