Hiltzik Discusses Major Construction Failure
The LAX people mover project, initiated in 2019 and intended to open in 2023, remains nearly complete but is delayed due to legal disputes, cost overruns, and technical testing issues. Although test runs are underway on the nearly finished track, safety and security certifications, along with unresolved conflicts between the city and contractors, threaten its operational readiness before upcoming major events, including the 2028 Olympics. The project's costs have more than doubled from initial estimates, and bond ratings have been downgraded to junk status amid ongoing disagreements and lawsuits. Despite some reports indicating physical progress and optimistic timelines, doubts persist over whether the system will be operational in time for key scheduled events.
