Scheduled for completion in 2023, the LINXS team will design, build, finance, operate and maintain the $4.9 billion project over the next 30 years.
The LINXS team is comprised of 蜜桔直播, Fluor, ACS Infrastructure Development, Bombardier Transportation, Dragados USA, Flatiron, and Hochtief PPP Solutions. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti was on hand for the groundbreaking, along with LAWA officials and many other distinguished guests.
鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to kick off construction of this transformative transportation project for the Los Angeles World Airports in partnership with the LINXS joint venture team,鈥 said John Rempe, PE, president and chief executive officer of 蜜桔直播鈥檚 civil construction operations in the United States. 鈥淭he Automated People Mover at LAX will play a key role in reshaping the way travelers from around the world access the country鈥檚 busiest origin and destination airport well into the future.鈥
LINXS has been working on the pre-construction phase of the project over the past year. As a key component of LAWA鈥檚 Landside Access Modernization Program, the APM will be a 2.25-mile, above-ground airport transport system connecting LAX passengers with the airline terminals, a new centralized rental car facility, new pickup and drop-off locations with parking facilities, and Metro鈥檚 regional transit system.
Once completed, travelers will enjoy a transportation system comprised of six APM stations that operate up to nine trains simultaneously as well as the APM maintenance facility and various parking garages. Pedestrian access will be enhanced by moving walkways to the terminals and parking garages.
