Windy City Gateway Gets New Runway
Runway 10R-28L will be used primarily as an arrivals runway


Chicago O’Hare International Airport has completed a $512 million project that saw the construction of its fifth parallel east-west runway and associated taxiways. Work on the 7,500-foot-long, 150-foot-wide Runway 10R-28L, along with a 7,500-foot parallel Taxiway W and 2,000-foot Taxiway AA, began in the spring of 2011. According to the Chicago Department of Aviation, 10R-28L will be used primarily as an arrivals runway, and officials say that during east flow operations it will boost arrival rates in poor weather by 40 percent and by 24 percent in visual conditions.
