Indeed. Should be very interesting. Is there any update on 9R/27L? I read somewhere once the completion dat was going to be December 2.

Is this between the CTA station and T1, T2 & T3?

9R/27L is scheduled to open (at least partially) on December 2nd. Due to construction on the west side of the field landings will not be allowed on 9R and 27L will have a shortened available takeoff distance.

The project seems to be progressing quite well. What aspect of it is causing your anxiety?

This is exciting as it is really the last piece to move ORD to a true 6 runway parallel operation. The 9R landing restriction doesn't seem like it will have much impact as 9C should be the primary landing runway. Takeoff restrictions on 27L may have a little impact. Since most of the international traffic departs to the north I wonder if that traffic will move to 27L instead 28R where most of it is now.

With 28R still being the longest runway and the fact they give radar vectors to the first fix no matter the runway I think much of the heavy traffic will use 28R still. But before they lengthened 27L/9R I used to see some European heavies (KLM) depart 9R when it was shorter so who really knows.

From my experience working in ORD tower years ago, 9R/27L @ 11,260' will be more than enough for 99.9% of the European departures as well a fair amount of Asian traffic with the more powerful aircraft. That being said, there were/are certain carriers/crews that will require or request the longest available runway regardless of the alternative. The 742 and 744 plus the A342/343 were what we called "runway hogs" and usually required a lot of runway.
Fortunately, Asian traffic is almost filed over a north fix and a vast majority of European traffic is also initially northbound out of ORD. On either an east or west configuration, the north fix departures could be launched off of either the north or south complex and not necessarily impact the flow off of the other departure runway(s). On an east flow, west fix departures should most definitely depart from the north complex as they initially turn northwest bound before turning west for the climb corridor. On a west flow, the east fix departures should depart from the north complex as they initially fly northeast bound before turning east for the climb corridor.
That being said, now having potentially two "free roll" departure runways, the departure taxi times should be a little better. Having to depart 22L in 28C arrival gaps plus applying wake turbulence penalties from 28C heavy arrivals makes 22L far less efficient than a "free roll" runway on a west flow. Runway balance will be a big factor in helping the departure flow instead of needing to overload one of the departure runways.

Do you know if they will still regularly send departures off 22L? Having 3 departure runways would be hugely efficient.

That'd be a question for a current ORD tower controller. You'd be surprised how efficient two free roll runways can be when there are limited wake turbulence penalties to apply.
In IFR weather, a non-parallel departure runway (22L or 4L) adds some efficiency benefits for establishing the initial course divergence needed when visual separation cannot be used. Without being able to apply some type of visual departure separation, none of the closely-spaced runways will be free-roll so even though the 3 arrival runways can operate without restrictions, departures will be curbed somewhat.

Rwy 10C is CAT II/III and Rwy 10R is 300 AGL. We used to not be able to land 10R in ILS critical conditions. That has changed as we now double back the Rwy 10R arrivals and cross Rwy 10C at BB when we are less than 800 and/or 2 miles.

Are the centerlines of 10C and 10R 4,300 feet apart so you can run true simultaneous approaches or do you have to stagger? BB crossings on 10C are beyond the GS critical area then?
