An existing bridge linking Terminals 7 and 8 to a parking structure is to be incorporated into a bridge linking with the people mover as well. The new bridges are relatively modest components of the $5.5-billion LAX landside access modernization program, which is itself a mere fraction of[a $14-billion makeover](https://urbanize.city/la/post/scoping-out-progress-laxs-14-billion-facelift) that is rapidly reshaping one of the busest airports in the world. The people mover, one of the centerpieces of the program, will be a 2.25-mile monorail-like train with three stops in the central terminal area, and connections to two off-site ground transportation hubs and [a rental car facility](https://urbanize.city/la/post/massive-car-rental-facility-begins-rise-near-lax). The people mover is expected to begin serving passengers in 2023. Those projects would be completed by 2028 - in advance of the Summer Olympic Games scheduled for that year. “ > **[New pedestrian bridges take shape in LAX Central Terminal Area](https://la.urbanize.city/post/new-pedestrian-bridges-take-shape-lax-central-terminal-area)** > > Visitors navigating LAX horseshoe may have recently noticed the arrival of a new steel truss bridge connecting to Terminal 2.  The pedestrian overcrossing is the second of six similar structures that are being built within the Central Terminal... > **[$900m LAX Metro rail station breaks ground](https://la.urbanize.city/post/metro-lax-connector-groundbreaking-crenshaw-line)** > > In a groundbreaking ceremony yesterday morning, Metro and local elected officials marked the start of work on a nearly $900-million Metro rail station which will provide a long-sought connection with Los Angeles International Airport. ---

By next week, the concrete guideway that will eventually house a brand new Automated People Mover (APM) system will reach 99% completion, setting the stage for testing of train cars later this year. Construction is slated to wrap up next year…" ---

This is going to be such a big deal once the APM is operational. Currently so much of the traffic at LAX is caused by shuttle buses going to and from the rental car facilities dispersed throughout the area. I don’t have a figure, but I have to imagine that this will eliminate several dozen buses per hour from the inner loop. ---
