Click on" Runway 4R/22L and Associated Taxiways Reconstruction Finding of No Significant Impact Decision and Environmental Assessment" It's a 13mb pdf.
Report said construction will take place during summer (March 2012) and last 13-16 months (runway will open during winter months, than close again to finish taxi-way work in 2013).
