Here's the description of the project from the construction bid web site:
Runway 28L Reconstruction
This Project will reconstruct Runway 28L between Taxiways Echo and Lima, crossing Runways 1L and 1R, to improve long term durability and performance of the runway. The Project will demolish existing pavement structure down to subgrade and reconstruct the middle section of the runway from the ground up. Runway lighting infrastructure impacted by the reconstruction area will be replaced. Two deteriorated storm drain lines that cross under this section of the runway will be replaced. New runway pavement will be grooved and striped. In addition, this Project will provide an overlay of Runway 1L, extending 300 feet from each side of the Runway 28L centerline.
From this description, and from the pictorial diagram provided by the
airport authority, it does seem pretty clear that the planned construction affects the intersection of 28L with both 1L/19R and 1R/19L. Each of the 1/19 runways must be out of service during portions of this project.
