Named the 2022 public project of the year, the work at Terminal 5 is part of the broader 10 year O’Hare 21 Capital Improvement Plan and will transform the terminal into a modern, efficient global hub to serve the needs of the traveling public through the 21st Century.

Increased the terminal’s gate capacity by 25% to improve efficiency and reduce
delays

Starting at the City of Chicago Department of Aviation Building, three Department of
