O'Hare airport runway shortened overnight

(1/1)

Flyingnut:
No, Mayor Daley didn't take bulldozers to KORD like he did to KCGX.  Rwy 10-28 was shortened by 4000' by a new paint job.

Unfortunately we can't directly blame King Daley for this one. This one was done per NOTAM:

So it appears to be only temporary; perhaps repaving of the runway, like what happened at KLAS over the past 8 months?
