In 2008 and all the years before that, Tel-luride Regional Airport's runway In Colorado's Rocky Mountains was visibly lower in the center than on either end, and it gave pilots fits, mostly on takeoff. No more. Construction crews have worked most of the year to flatten the runway.rnAirport Manager Rich Ntittall said the reconstructed runway (it has only one) is ready for paving, "The west end of the runway came down 30 feet, the east end went down 14 feet, and the center was raised 14 feet," Nuttall said. It is scheduled to reopen not later than November 3, well ahead of the ski season.
