Merrill C. Meigs Field Airport was a single-runway airport in Chicago that was in operation from 1948 until 2003, on Northerly Island, an artificial peninsula on Lake Michigan. By 1955, Meigs had become the busiest single-strip airport in the United States. Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley forced the closing of Meigs in 2003 by ordering the overnight bulldozing of its runway without notice. City crews made the runway unusable by bulldozing large X-shaped gouges into the runway surface. The beloved airport remains closed while the city has made Northerly Island into a park.
