Federal officials have cleared the way for Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport to begin construction on a $7.1-billion terminal replacement and expansion, plus other projects.
The U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration announced the approval Nov. 21 after its environmental review found “no significant impact” associated with the proposed projects. Chicago Dept. of Aviation officials say construction of two satellite concourses will begin in the spring of 2023.
