If you look at the second photo you will see vehicles and construction equipment to the left of the photo. That is the end of the actual runway with the runway extension being laid as part of the main photo.

Not sure what they are doing as I'm not in any position to comment but I'm sure others will know more.

I've said it before but it's a shame that the entire runway couldn't be resurfaced after the extension is completed and of course the construction of the belated northern taxiway.

When does "phase 2" actually commence 🤔
