REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Beginning Wednesday, the main Runway 5-23 at Redmond Municipal Airport is closed for about a month for a paving project, which will increase air traffic over the city, officials said.

During the closure, aircraft will use the secondary runway, 11-29. 

"This will lead to increased air traffic over Redmond," the announcement said.
