The airport company is also building a RESA [Runway End Safety Area] at the southern end of the runway [approaching threshold of runway 34]. RESA's are designed to allow for undershoots and overruns, but they do not extend the operational length of the runway itself. In other words, they only get used during a stuff up or other incident. In this photo, you can see that they are building a tunnel for all the road traffic.
Lastly, here's a picture from the Western Apron looking along taxiway W2. The building mid-left of the photo is the airport Fire/Rescue base.
Yeah. Also think that I might have spotted a new place to take some shots from further down that road. Cool!
