City officials are warning that traffic and parking at O'Hare airport could become more difficult, as work begins on the terminal 5 garage.The Chicago Department of Aviation is warning travelers of traffic congestion and delays near O'Hare Airport as work on a new, six-story parking garage next to the international terminal ramps up on Tuesday.
Travelers are urged to allow for extra time for parking in Lot D, or consider other options. Economy Lot F, north of the terminal in the Multi-Modal Facility, is just minutes from Terminal 5 on the Airport Transit System, commonly called the people mover. Or, avoid driving to the airport entirely and opt for public transit, such as the CTA, or use a taxi or a ride-hailing service, such as Lyft or Uber.The aviation department also suggests traffic patterns on airport roadways may change to accommodate construction. This includes concrete work and improvements to sidewalks, pedestrian walkways and handrails.
CDA didn't respond to questions about the project, such as why construction work is intensifying just weeks from the busy holiday travel season.
