Weekly Schedule for Overnight Closures of the Vincent Thomas Bridge

LOS ANGELES ― The California Department of Transportation or Caltrans is advising motorists of nightly closures on the Vincent Thomas Bridge on State Route 47 (SR 47) from Monday, Nov. 27, through Fri., Dec. 1.

The bridge will close in the northbound direction on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week beginning as early as 8 p.m. each night and ending by 6 a.m. the following mornings. On Thursday and Friday, the bridge will close in the southbound direction over the same time frames.

These closures will allow crews to continue safety upgrades on the bridge cables. Work on this project began in October and is anticipated to continue through early January. Throughout this time, overnight closures are planned in both directions of travel, excepting on weekends and during holiday travel. 

For next week’s closures, motorists traveling southbound on SR 47 should take exit 1B to Ferry Street, turn left to take the on-ramp to northbound SR 47, continue onto northbound SR 103, take the exit for northbound SR 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) and then travel on SR 1 to the Interstate 110 (I-110) interchange.

Motorists traveling northbound on SR 47 should follow one of the following detour routes:

• From southbound I-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, and then continue to SR 47.
• From southbound Harbor Boulevard, take the northbound I-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 47.

See attached detour routes for more information. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek an alternate route if possible.
