"LAX People Mover Project Faces Further Delays Ahead of Major Events"
The completion of the Automated People Mover system at Los Angeles International Airport has been further delayed, with Fitch Ratings predicting a new opening date around November 2025 due to construction delays and strained contractor relationships. The driverless rail project, part of a $30 billion airport overhaul, was initially expected to open in 2023 but is now 96% complete. The two-and-a-quarter-mile-long track aims to improve traffic flow and provide a time-saving option for travelers connecting to public transit hubs.
