The construction on Canada’s busiest runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport is now complete.
The Greater Toronto Airports Authority said the work at Runway 05/23 wrapped up early Tuesday evening.
Crews have been busy removing the existing paved surface, repairing beneath the runways and then re-paving since March.
Officials said this is the first phase of a major reconstruction project at the airport.
The reduced runway capacity caused major headaches for travelers with many missing flights and causing hours in delays.
