In January, work has resumed 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.
While the LAX Economy Parking structure opened to the public in October, construction continues on a future APM station that will service the facility. Work also continues on other elements of the Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP), including the Consolidated Rent-A-Car (ConRAC) facility, which has less than a half percent of structural concrete remaining to be poured.

Installation of an electronic Smart Parking system throughout the CTA may reduce the number of available spaces in some structures. Guests can now reserve spaces in several of the garages in the CTA and at the new LAX Economy Parking structure by visiting parking.flyLAX.com. To see real-time parking availability, click here.
