During investigatory inspections of LaGuardia’s airfield pavement Thursday using ground-penetrating radar, possible areas of concern were identified and proactively repaired. Out of an abundance of caution, engineering crews are conducting additional inspections that necessitate the continued closure of Runway 4/22. Crews expect to complete those surveys and any associated repairs by 6 a.m. on Saturday, at which time the runway is expected to reopen.
LGA remains open to flight operations, though flights may be affected due to the runway closure. Travelers should check with their airline for flight status before arriving at the airport.
