The Client
The Gary / Chicago International Airport is known as Chicago’s “third airport,” after the larger and more well-known O’Hare and Midway Airports. Seeking to increase its operational ability in order to better serve bigger aircrafts and more flights, Chicago / Gary Regional Airport Authority partnered with the Superior Construction team and several other highly skilled crews to rebuild the Airport’s runways in this expedited, three-phase project.
