Closed runway

Last week I passed by the airport and noticed vehicles on the runway and taxiway. I could not find anyone to tell me what they were doing.

Yesterday I was back out there and noticed that the runway was closed. I was able to talk briefly with a man who said that they had repainted the runway, adding black outlines to the white markings.

He also said that they would be planting grass in areas that had been disturbed by construction. That would explain the truck with the bales of hay.

I had more questions to ask, but he was busy answering the phone and I did not have the patience to wait.
