I flew into KTW on 24th June. The "works in progress" area was depicted on Jeppesen chart EPKT 10-8 which refers to the latest NOTAMs. One reads:

EPWW-E0505/14
A) EPKT KATOWICE
B) 2014 Apr 07 15:00 C) 2014 Aug 31 23:59 EST
E) CONSTRUCTION OF NEW RWY IN A DISTANCE 150M NORTH PARALLEL TO RWY
09/27. DO NOT USE NEW PAVEMENTS FOR OPERATIONAL PURPOSES.

Hard to miss... The VOR approach is offset by 11°... so what? If properly briefed, then it shouldn't come as a surprise. Late afternoon, ie facing the sun? That should be part of the briefing too.

Cheers
