ORD 08/490 ORD RWY 14L/32R CLSD 1508200302-PERM
Runway 14L-32R has been in existence at O'Hare Airport (ORD) for a long time but as of early today, it has reportedly seen its last takeoff or landing. Initially, this permanent closure was needed to facilitate the final build of the O'Hare Modernization Program (OMP) and more importantly, was required to respect state law at the time that limited the number of runways at ORD to a total of eight. A new (eighth) runway, 10R-28L, will be commissioned in October 2015.
This leaves 32L as the last northwest-southeast runway at ORD and 32L arrivals are not authorized. Thoughts?
