Narrative:

Received ATIS via radio. No recall by first officer of construction on approach end of runway 10 on ATIS. We were cleared for VOR/DME runway 10 and normal approach was conducted. (No mention of construction given us by ATC.) at approximately 400 ft AGL, a pick-up was noted crossing the threshold end in the construction area. Barrier cones were immediately noted thereafter and PF (captain) added power and decreased descent and thereafter continued to a normal landing.
