    The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) announced that Runway 10R-28L, which opened at O'Hare International Airport in October, was selected as "Project of the Year" by the Hispanic American Construction Industry Association (HACIA).The announcement was made at the 37th Annual HACIA Awards Banquet on Feb. 17.

    "I want to thank the staff and selection committee at HACIA for recognizing this important project at O'Hare which has already provided substantial benefits to air travelers and created jobs during its construction," CDA Commissioner Ginger S. Evans said. "I want to thank Mayor Rahm Emanuel for his leadership and focus on completing this runway. His continued commitment to make O'Hare the best airport in the world and foster economic growth and job creation for Chicago residents will bring our airport in to the 21st century."

    Runway 10R-28L will significantly improve O'Hare's East flow arrival and departure rates in all weather conditions, which helps to increase throughput and reduce delays.
