LAX APM Stuck at Finish Line | Los Angeles News
Description
LAX’s $1.2 billion Automated People Mover, nearly complete and ready to debut for the 2028 Olympics, is stalled by financial chaos and legal battles—just days before key deadlines. Despite 99.6% of infrastructure being finished, disputes over $880 million in extra payments have erupted, with a grand jury blaming contractor LINXS for delays and alleged exploitation. LINXS has now sued the city as deadlines loom, while Fitch Ratings warns the project may default on its bonds. With trains tested and tracks laid, the final hurdle? Sorting blame—and paying up—before October 8th.
