Cargo congestion has gone from bad to worse at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, forcing importers to wait several days to retrieve shipments and prompting two large logistics companies to migrate airfreight operations an hour west to an uncrowded facility in Rockford, Illinois.
There is so much cargo piling up at O’Hare that airline-handling agents for the first time in memory are actually renting warehouses in surrounding townships to hold the overflow until it can be sorted for customer pickup, local trucking and logistics professionals say.

Chicago plans to spend at least $60 million to boost the arts and local artists citywide.
The Arts 77 recovery and reopening program will focus on employing creative workers through city services and programs; increase public sector investments in the arts through financing and cultural policy; and expand involvement in the creative and cultural sector across the city’s 77 community areas.
The program was announced Tuesday by Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events and the Chicago Park District.
“Before the pandemic struck, our arts and culture sector was a significant employer and economic driver that generated thousands of jobs and billions of dollars for our city,” Lightfoot said in a news release.

A fire that broke out Saturday morning inside a busy pedestrian tunnel at O’Hare Airport caused headaches for many travelers and forced them close together in the middle of a pandemic.
The fire broke out in the tunnel between concourses B and C in Terminal 1 shortly after 8 a.m., according to the Chicago Department of Aviation. The incident forced hundreds of travelers to closely congregate in one of the airport’s main walkways.
“Enjoying a super spreader event at [O’Hare] this morning,” one traveler tweeted, along with a photo of the crowd.
