After the segments were formed and cured, the traveling platforms would move further ahead to help form the next segment. The concrete segments were cast in formwork and supported by larger traveling platforms. Each of these three sections were constructed one short segment at a time with a traveling form system. The other span, built over Parking Structure 2B in the Central Terminal Area, was fully connected on March 19. It was the last of three cast-in-place segmentally constructed bridges on the project, the first of which was completed over Century Boulevard last December. The last major pour for the guideway structure took place over Sepulveda Boulevard and completed on April 1 after two-and-a-half months of construction. Workers pour the last of 69,700 cubic yards of concrete to complete the guideway structure. A total of 69,700 cubic yards of concrete were poured since 2019 to complete the structure, along with more than one million work hours. Guideway construction began in November 2019 with the first underground support columns being placed, followed by the first column pours in January 2020 and the first guideway segment pour in September 2020. "Over the last two-and-a-half years, we have seen the guideway rise up from its foundation to become a fully completed track, providing us a glimpse at what will provide time-guaranteed access to the airport, ensuring greater mobility for all of those coming to and from LAX." "Los Angeles no longer has to imagine a transformed LAX, rather we can see the future through our own eyes with the completion of the 2.25 miles of Automated People Mover guideway that will one day soon carry train cars filled with travelers and employees," said Justin Erbacci, Chief Executive Officer, Los Angeles World Airports.

“This project is a historic investment in our city’s transportation future, and today’s milestone brings us another step closer to our ultimate goal: bringing modern, reliable public transportation to our airport.” “The Automated People Mover will be so much more than another way to get to LAX – it’s the piece of the puzzle that will end the congestion that has been plaguing our airport for decades,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti. (Los Angeles, CA) Today, the centerpiece of Los Angeles International Airport's (LAX) multi-billion-dollar modernization program achieved a major milestone as the last concrete was poured for the Automated People Mover's (APM) 2.25-mile elevated guideway structure.
