Under the cover of darkness — yes, it's true, but there's no cloak-and-dagger drama — San Diego's airport authority has been tearing up sections of the airport’s only runway every night since Nov. 1.
This repaving project will last roughly a year and cost $22.8 million.
One result is a “hard” closure of the runway that starts at midnight and goes to 5 a.m. every day.
Passenger flights in and out of San Diego International shouldn’t be affected, officials said — unless your flight has a freak delay and needs to land or depart after midnight.
