Shovels Can Hit the Ground for Multi-billion Dollar O’Hare Airport Terminal

Excerpt:  “Construction can start on new passenger terminals at O’Hare International Airport. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and local, state, and federal officials marked the milestone today at O’Hare after the Federal Aviation Administration completed the project’s environmental review. … The review analyzed Chicago Department of Aviation projects including new terminals, on-airport hotels, airfield and taxiway improvements and support facilities. It also reviewed the FAA’s proposal to make permanent angled approaches to Runway 10R/28L to allow simultaneous arrival to multiple runways. The FAA concluded that proposed construction projects and changes to air traffic procedures will not significantly affect any environmental resources, including noise, air quality, water resources, and historic sites.”
