https://www.dailybreeze.com/2023/09/26/vincent-thomas-bridge-temporary-closures-set-for-october/ The Vincent Thomas Bridge will periodically close overnight during a three-week period beginning as early as Monday, Oct. 2. The bridge is slated to close in one or both directions from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning on some weeknights. Weekend closures are not anticipated. The closures are necessary to install eight gates on the bridge that will help block unlawful access to the span's cables, which has been an increasing problem for the California Department of Transportation. Periodic bridge repair closures aren't uncommon and signs about the upcomping ones will be posted. Online information is available at the Caltrans Quickmap site. But looming ahead is a much bigger and separate project -- not related to next month's closures -- that is anticipated to cause no shortage of traffic disruptions in years to come. Planning continues for that massive project to replace the road deck on the mile-long suspension bridge, which could partially or entirely close the bridge for a year or more. Work for that is tentatively set to happen from 2025 to 2027 and among the major concerns is how rerouted traffic will impact local communities, including Wilmington, which already deals with heavy port truck traffic. Caltrans staff, a spokesperson said, continues to work on the draft environmental impact report for that much larger road deck replacement project. The date for that report's release has not yet been determined. Advisory committees have been formed to help create mitigation recommendations for traffic-related impacts; the committees meet monthly to discuss concerns and propose solutions. One community advisory committee held its first meeting in June and includes representatives from the neighborhood councils, local chambers of commerce, the business community and other organizations. The meetings are also attended by representatives from the offices of seven elected officials and are intended to provide a community voice to identify problems and concerns. Two additional groups are: A technical advisory committee, composed of experts representing groups from county and city public works departments, transportation planners and law enforcement, to look at issues that will require inter-agency cooperation. The group held its first meeting in July. A policy advisory committee, which Caltrans is still in the process of forming, that will be made up of local and state elected officials, along with Caltrans District 7 executives. News of the upcoming project came this past spring when Caltrans held two meetings and extended the comment deadline for the draft environmental impact report. The four-lane bridge, which opened in 1963 and spans across the Port of Los Angeles from San Pedro to Terminal Island, replaced a ferry boat service that operated before that. Now, it is a key transportation link not only for growing and heavy port transportation but also for commuters traveling between San Pedro and Long Beach and port workers who use the connection sometimes several times a day. The initial schedule called for a design phase to be completed by July 2025, construction to begin in October 2025 and the bridge to reopen by the end of March 2027. Besides the concern over how the project could further disrupt Wilmington, there are also worries about how detours could disrupt regular port-related work traffic, with three longshore shifts a day that rely on the bridge; cause increased emissions; and impact first-responders. But few question the need for the work to be done on what Caltrans said is a "rapidly deteriorating" original roadway that is 6.5 inches thick. The project also calls for upgrading existing bridge railings and the median barrier, as well as replacing deck seismic structures. And nature has thrown a wrinkle into plans as well: A peregrine falcon's next is active on the bridge, which will require working with the state to see if it can be relocated or, if not, how to deal with the nest otherwise.

Detour routes For October's temporary closures, detour routes for those traveling northbound on State Route 47 are: From southbound 1-110 exit at SR 1 (Exit 4), turn left on SR 1 and take either Harry Bridges Boulevard or SR 103 to SR 47. From northbound SR 47 exit at Harbor Boulevard (Exit 1C), turn left to go northbound on Harbor Boulevard, turn right on Pacific Avenue, turn right on Harry Bridges Boulevard, which turns into Alameda Street, then continue to SR 47. From southbound Harbor Boulevard, take the northbound 1-110 on-ramp then exit at SR 1 (Exit 4), turn right on SR 1 and take either Harry Bridges Boulevard or SR 103 to SR 57. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All questions are to be submitted on the Port's CDBON website discussed above.
