Construction for the project is expected to begin in the fall of 2025, impacting the neighborhoods of San Pedro and Wilmington, as well as the city of Long Beach.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn is awaiting a response from Caltrans after sending the state agency a letter expressing her concerns over traffic impacts caused by a future bridge project in San Pedro.
While the project still has some ways to go, Supervisor Hahn — who represents the Harbor Area and Long Beach — is urging Caltrans to work with cities up and down the I-110 and I-710 freeways to develop clear communication and a plan that re-routes commuters and goods movement well in advance of the bridge project.
Eric Menjivar, media relations manager for Caltrans District 7, which oversees the highways and freeways in the Southland, confirmed the agency received Hahn’s letter and will respond. The Vincent Thomas Bridge is in need of deck replacement because it was built in 1963 and has been in service for 60 years. The agency says the bridge is “structurally sound” but the bridge deck is “rapidly deteriorating,” caused by heavy traffic loading, as well as environmental deterioration due to age and being close to the sea.Los Angeles City Councilman Tim McOsker, who represents the 15th Council District, which encompasses the Harbor communities, has also expressed similar concerns.
