THE DOWNLOAD
Whoever said progress came easy hasn’t spoken to air travelers. Sky Harbor will be closing it’s north runway for construction and maintenance of a new and improved Terminal 3. Starting on Oct. 6 till Nov. 6, the airport’s Terminal 3 Modernization Program will take place. If you have plans to travel during that time you should plan for delays. Sky Harbor issued a statement saying travelers may see up to 30 minute delays during peak travel times. Peak times are from 7:30 a.m. until 10 a.m. and in the evenings from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., according to Sky Harbor. The runway’s concrete will be removed and then re-paved. Sky Harbor says the construction is key for the modernization program of the terminal because it “will provide a more efficient and consolidated security checkpoint, more space for passengers and state-of-the-art technology systems.”
