Open the Caltrans traffic map →The detour route
Traffic is sent mainly along the Harbor (110) and Long Beach (710) freeways, State Route 103 and Harry Bridges Boulevard. Traffic officers are posted at 18 key intersections, and truck rules are enforced on local streets.
Detour map and project page →What is being done
Crews are replacing the whole concrete deck, the center median, railings, fencing and signs, and adding new seismic sensors. The bridge itself is sound; the 60-year-old deck has worn out from heavy traffic and salt air. Total cost: $750 million.
