Manchester Airport runway project completion date moved back again
10.11.11
The completion date for the refurbishment of runway one at Manchester Airport has been moved back again. In September the airport announced that the works would be complete by November 11, but this week it announced that the new finish date was December 21 because of problems with the new technology installed to operate the lights on the runway. The work started in January, and was expected to cost £20 million and to take eight months.
A Manchester Airport spokesman told the Knutsford Guardian: ‘We have encountered some problems with the compatibility between the technology that is used to control the lighting circuits, which sadly means there is no alternative but to extend the closure period. Completion is now expected by Wednesday, December 21, and during this time runway one will continue to be closed at night, and runway two will be used between 21:30 and 06:00 Sunday to Thursday nights during these final weeks.’
