In addition, a 30in gas line will be relocated in the second quarter of next year.
LAWA LAMP and Utilities Enabling Project (LULEP) project manager Dan McKelvie said: “We are proud to have finished this project ahead of schedule, within budget and with no safety incidents. This project completion is another step on the path to creating a world-class vision for LAX.”
The modernisation programme at LAX includes the construction of a 2.25-mile elevated Automated People Mover train system, with three stations in the Central Terminal Area (CTA) and three outside the area.
A consolidated car rental facility and other roadway improvements are also part of the project.
In March, LAX Integrated Express Solutions (LINXS) broke ground on the $4.9bn automated people mover (APM) project.
