In August, work continues on the $2.3-billion modernization of Terminals 2 and 3, with the connector between Terminals 1 and 2 temporarily closed during demolition and renovation of the old Transportation Security Administration checkpoint. Construction is also taking place on a new connector between Terminal 3 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal and the remainder of the Terminal 3 concourse. Meanwhile, demolition has been completed on the eastern half of the Terminal 4 headhouse as part of a $1.62-billion modernization project that includes reconstruction of much of the 60-year-old building.

A number of projects related to the LAX Automated People Mover (APM) are also under construction, including five of the elevated bridges that will connect terminals to future stations, and the Terminal Vertical Cores that include elevators and escalators to reach all levels. Exterior metal and glass panels are being installed at several APM stations. The last steel for the West Central Terminal Area (CTA) station will be place in early August.

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.
In addition to the APM, work continues on other elements of the Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP), including the Consolidated Rent-A-Car (ConRAC) facility and associated street improvements and access roads. A link is available for webcams that allow the public to see the ongoing work by clicking here. Photo galleries are available here.
Installation of an electronic Smart Parking system throughout the CTA is expected to continue through the fall, with intermittent impacts. Guests are encouraged to reserve spaces in the CTA and at the new LAX Economy Parking facility by visiting parking.flyLAX.com. To see real-time parking availability, click here.
