Changing terminals airside at LAX

On Wednesday I’m transiting LAX, and have to get from Terminal 6 to Terminal 3, preferably staying inside security. There is apparently a pedestrian walkway airside that uses a mix of tunnels and sky bridges, but it seems that Terminal 5 - which is along the path - is currently shut for renovations.

Does anyone know if it’s still possible to walk through T5 using the tunnels, even though the terminal itself is closed? I have 4 hours between flights, so time isn’t an issue. I just don’t want to go through TSA twice in the same day if I can help it.

It is still doable to stay airside, as they are running a shuttle between Terminals 4 and 6. The post from FlyerTalk linked below gives one person's experience, and tells where in Terminal 6 to catch the shuttle. Reports are that the shuttle buses have at times been slow/not running often enough, but with 4 hours you should be fine.
