Runway 4\/22 at LaGuardia Airport was reopened Thursday morning and is fully operational after it was shut down on Wednesday when a “depression” was discovered.<\/p>\n

Port Authority officials said that “an approximately two-inch depression adjacent” to the runway to discovered during an airfield inspection.<\/p>\n

This is the same runway that had a large sinkhole last month<\/a> which forced it to be closed for days amid the busy Memorial Day weekend travel rush.<\/p>\n

Frustrated flyers endured hundreds of delayed or canceled flights while crews made repairs to that sinkhole.<\/p>\n

The Port Authority says it discovered Wednesday’s “depression” the same way it discovered the last one, with a routine inspection. Although this one may have been a little less obvious.<\/p>\n

LaGuardia Airport was built on landfill in Flushing Bay almost 100 years ago.<\/p>\n
