(The Center Square) – The long-awaited opening of the so-called people mover system at Los Angeles International Airport has been pushed back once again, adding to a trail of budget The opening of the Skylink rail project at Los Angeles International Airport has been delayed again, adding to a long list of budget overruns, legal disputes, and frustration over taxpayer-funded infrastructure projects in Southern California. The system is now expected to cost $3.34 billion and is set to open in January. The delay is due to an ongoing legal dispute between the main contractor and Los Angeles World Airports, the city department that owns and operates LAX, which alleges that LAWA caused significant project delays. The project is currently about 99% complete but awaiting a final 30-day testing period before it can open to the public. Local leaders and political observers have criticized a lack of clear accountability and called for an investigation into the setbacks.
