There is NO mention of the airport being closed, just the primary runway.
The caption says "with the major runway at Tampa International Airport closed until January 13th to allow for the signage to be changed" and then later in the article
"Later in the month Tampa International Airport’s east parallel and east-west runways will also be closed to allow their signage to be changed."

Brian, if you follow the Physorg reference I posted it specifically says the airport was actually closed until January 13.

This implies closing the airport, no?
No.
An airport manager who was at all tuned in, would have the runway ends
repainted serially and at low traffic times.
