The runway, which had been closed during a refurbishing project, is set to reopen Tuesday.

Airport officials were forced to use just one runway for every single flight in and out of the popular airport during the $95 million project. 

The north runway, which last received an upgrade 15 years ago, now has new safety lights, drainage and other structural improvements.
