The formation of an apical junction, a functional unit located near the cell apex at the points of contact between epithelial cells composed of the tight junction, the zonula adherens junction and the desmosomes, by the aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of its constituents. A cellular process that results in the aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a cell junction. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a junction between cells. Assembly of the zonula adherens, a cell-cell adherens junction which forms a continuous belt near the apex of epithelial cells. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cell-cell junction. A cell-cell junction is a specialized region of connection between two cells.
