EASTON, MARYLAND — Easton Airport's Runway 4/22 is open again after construction crews finished the first phase of work ahead of schedule, and the airport has set two new closures for it before the end of the year, according to a Nov. 5 public notice.
The airport says it is fully open for normal operations through the Waterfowl Festival weekend, Nov. 13–15. Runway 4/22 then closes from 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16, until 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24, and again from 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 30, until 8 a.m. Friday, Dec. 18. That leaves the runway open from the evening of Nov. 24 to the morning of Nov. 30, a stretch that includes Thanksgiving, Nov. 26.
| Runway 4/22 | From | Until |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Already open | 8 a.m. Mon., Nov. 16 |
| Closed | 8 a.m. Mon., Nov. 16 | 6 p.m. Tue., Nov. 24 |

The longer interruption comes next year. After the runway reopens Dec. 18, it will stay open until about February 2027, when it will close again for several months, the notice says, and the airport tells users to plan for significant closures of Runway 4/22 through 2027.
The airport credits the autumn weather for letting crews finish the first phase of work on the new Runway 4/22 early. Runway 15/33 will remain available for normal operations, according to the notice, and pilots are told to check NOTAMs, the official notices issued to pilots, for the latest information.
The airport sends project updates by email and text message and through its advisory board meetings. Questions go to Airport Manager Micah Risher at 410-770-8055.
