Slow CVG runway work shifts noise 
The Cincinnati (OH) Enquirer


Construction of the extention to the east-west runway at the
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is taking longer than
anticipated. As a result, noise patterns will continue to be disrupted until
the end of October.

Airport officials say that the east-west runway is now only 7,600 feet long
and is being used strictly for departures. That means larger jets that used
to use that runway will continue to be shifted to the two north-south
runways.

The airport says that construction should be finished by the end of next
month, when the east-west runway will open at its final length of 12,000
feet.

The airport also is constructing a new 8,000-foot north-south runway on the
western end of its property. The runway should open by the end of 2005.
