TL;DR

LaGuardia Airport temporarily shut Runway 4/22 after an approximately two-inch depression was found during an airfield inspection, triggering testing and repairs with Runway 13/31 handling traffic overnight and officials aiming to return 4/22 to service as soon as safe. The disruption follows a large sinkhole that closed the same runway last month, contributing to flight delays amid reduced operations and travelers being advised to check with their airlines for status.
