Key Updates on Construction Projects at LAX

Each month, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) shares updates on current and upcoming construction projects at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Van Nuys Airport (VNY). This newsletter contains information about the status of projects at LAX and VNY, as well as construction impacts to the airport roadways and the surrounding communities.

In January, work will resume on a number of projects that were temporarily paused or slowed for the winter holiday travel period. Following completion of the LAX Automated People Mover (APM) guideway over Century Boulevard, guideway work will shift to Sepulveda Boulevard. Construction is also taking place on the pedestrian walkways connecting Terminal 2 to the APM’s future Center Central Terminal Area (CTA) station, and Terminals 4 and 5 to the future West CTA station. Work is anticipated to begin on the walkway connecting Terminal 3 to the future West station this month. Additional work continues on the APM train guideway and stations, along with terminal vertical cores and other modernization projects in the CTA.

Temporary pedestrian walkways are in place in the construction zones on the Upper/Departures Level, reducing drop-off lane availability. Portions of Center Way are closed for APM guideway and station construction, with other roadways/lanes restricted overnight.
