中途岛机场异味窗户更换2027年一季度开工：首期225户，四期共959户
芝加哥中途岛机场附近居民等待多年的异味窗户更换工程有了时间表。芝加哥航空局局长 Michael McMurray 10月27日在市议会预算与财政委员会听证会上表示，第一期工程将于2027年第一季度开工。
这批窗户来自航空局的住宅隔音计划，该计划自1995年起为中途岛机场与奥黑尔机场周边家庭安装隔音窗户。航空局已确认，2400多户装有该计划窗户与门的家庭出现异味问题，检测显示异味主要来自窗户纱网上的聚氯乙烯（PVC）涂层，散发出烧塑料的气味；约2,294户已获计划顾问委员会批准进入缓解程序。
按航空局公布的分期安排，第一期覆盖225户，市政府已于今年5月授予施工合同，预计2027年初开工；第二期覆盖242户，今年9月已招标，预计2027年初授标、2027年秋季开工；第三期242户、第四期250户随后推进，四期合计959户。
市议员 Marty Quinn 在听证会上追问进度，称这项工作拖得太久，要求市政府把四期安排完整告知受影响居民。McMurray 表示同意，并确认工程节奏约为每年完成二百多户。

Odorous Window Replacement Near Midway to Start in Early 2027: 225 Homes in Phase One, 959 Across Four Phases
The long-awaited replacement of odorous windows in homes near Chicago's Midway Airport now has a schedule. Chicago Department of Aviation Commissioner Michael McMurray told a City Council Budget and Finance Committee hearing on October 27 that construction on the first phase will begin in the first quarter of 2027.
The windows were installed under the department's Residential Sound Insulation Program, which has fitted sound-blocking windows in homes around Midway and O'Hare airports since 1995. The department has confirmed odor problems in more than 2,400 homes that received program windows and doors; testing found the burnt-plastic smell comes mainly from the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating on the windows' insect screens. About 2,294 homes have been approved by the program's advisory council for mitigation.
Under the department's phased plan, Phase One covers 225 homes, with a construction contract awarded in May of this year and work expected to start early in 2027. Phase Two covers 242 homes; bids were advertised in September 2026, with an award expected early in 2027 and construction in fall 2027. Phase Three covers another 242 homes and Phase Four 250 homes, for 959 homes across the four phases.
Alderman Marty Quinn pressed McMurray at the hearing, saying the work has dragged on too long and asking the city to give residents information on all four phases. McMurray agreed and confirmed the pace would be a little over 200 homes a year.
