Officials say all roads leading into the airport have reopened after being shut down around 4 a.m. Thursday.

In a post on Twitter, officials asked for patience as airport employees were allowed back inside to resume normal operations.
An earlier tweet advised passengers that “disruptions to airport operations may be possible,” and asked them to check with their airlines before heading to the airport.
