The funding will be used for construction of three OMP Completion Phase runway projects: runway 9C-27C, runway 10R-28L and the extension of runway 9R-27L. These projects are estimated to create about 13,000 jobs.
“This is a very substantial investment that shows how strongly the federal government supports the O’Hare Modernization Program,” said Mayor Richard Daley.
