After several years of feasibility studies, planning, and outreach, the North Runway Extension Project began May 2009. As part of the studies, the Port of Portland conducted an environmental assessment of the project on behalf of the Federal Aviation Administration, and has received a Finding of No Significant Impact. This cleared the way for seeking final approval from the Port Commission March 2009.

The north runway will be closed to all air traffic between May and October 2009. During this period, all air traffic will use the south and crosswind runways. Normal flight operations will resume once the summer construction is complete and the north runway is reopened.
