LaGuardia Runway Closed After Depression Found During Airfield Inspection

Last month, a sinkhole closed the same runway in the days leading up to Memorial Day weekend, causing extensive travel delays.

Passengers with flights out of LaGuardia are encouraged to check with their airlines regarding flight status.

During the closure, operations will shift to Runway 13/31.

Officials say there is no immediate safety concern and the closure is proactive. Crews will conduct additional testing, work to identify the cause, and perform any necessary repairs overnight. The airport says its goal is to return Runway 4/22 to service by Thursday morning.

A two-inch depression in the ground was discovered adjacent to Runway 4/22 during a routine airfield inspection at LaGuardia Airport on Wednesday, prompting airport officials to temporarily close the runway beginning at 5 p.m.
