Narrative:
The new runway 8/26 construction is complete, and pilots are aligning with runway 8 when they have been cleared for a visual approach to runway 9L. The amass has been going off, because runway 8 is still closed, but when the runway opens, we will not have amass to alert us of this unsafe operation. The pilots are reporting that they cannot see the X on runway 8. Runway 8 and runway 9L are only 800 ft apart, and when pilots are cleared for an approach to the left runway, they expect it to be the one on the left. The runways need to be renamed. A cautionary advisory on the ATIS has not helped.
