I was working LC/GC (Local Control/Ground Control) combined during LADP (Local Airport De-Icing Plan) operations. An aircraft called ready for departure on Runway 6 and was instructed to hold short for traffic landing Runway 33. Several Airport-Operations vehicles were on the frequency at the time and one of them stated on the frequency that Runway 33 was closed. The landing aircraft was issued go-around instructions on a two-mile final and subsequently landed on Runway 6. The Tower CIC (Controller in Charge) checked the NOTAMs and verified that Runway 33 had been closed for approximately 30 minutes. No notification had been received from Airport Operations that Runway 33 was closed.Similar incidents of this nature have happened in the past. Coordination via automation; or recorded landline; may help prevent these situations from happening in the future.
BDL Air Traffic Controller reported confusion of runway status due to poor communications with airport operations resulted in a go-around.
