Narrative:

Landing runway 34L from a visual approach. Tower reported north 1/2 of runway edge lights out. Construction crews working on parallel runway 34R must have cut a cable or something similar. Not yet far night time (end of evening civil twilight) per air almanac, so landed ok. Airport people or tower staff should check lights and equipment before they need it after a day of construction nearby!
