I know nothing about runway extensions but rather like the BOH extension all those years ago that was done in the winter months and like SOU would all be done within the airport perimeter
I know it was much quicker to action at BOH as there was very little traffic if any , and was done during the day
I guess as well the runway would have a restricted take off length but nothing the DHC8 could cope with ? Easy jet might be different though
I would imagine a 6 month project would be eminently doable and all works would be carried out during non-operational hours so to keep disruption to a minimum!
