Port, CALTRANS Continue Work on SR 47 Interchange Project

 

As work continues on the Port of Los Angeles and Caltrans SR 47 Interchange Project, lane reductions and ramp closures will occur on the SR 47 and I-110 in San Pedro. Suggested alternate freeway access ramps are at Gaffey Street in San Pedro and John S. Gibson Boulevard in Wilmington.

This interchange provides access to San Pedro, Wilmington, Terminal Island and services the West Basin Container Terminal. The reconfiguration will reduce travel times, alleviate congestion and improve motorist and pedestrian safety at the highly traveled roadway juncture.

The reconfiguration will replace an existing southbound SR 47 off-ramp from the Vincent Thomas Bridge, currently located on the south side, with a new off-ramp located on the north side. Additional improvements include realigning the existing on-ramp to northbound I-110 connector; modifying the northbound SR 47 off-ramp onto Harbor Boulevard; and modifying the northbound SR 47 on-ramp onto the bridge toward Terminal Island.

The SR 47 Interchange Project addresses traffic connections in San Pedro that access the Vincent Thomas Bridge, not the bridge itself.

In a separate project, Caltrans is proposing the VTB Deck Replacement Project to replace the entire bridge deck and seismic sensors of the bridge to preserve the functionality and structural integrity of the Vincent Thomas Bridge deck and to enhance the bridge’s overall safety. Get more information on that project, here: www.virtualeventroom.com/caltrans/vtb

For additional questions, leave a message at 310-732-7778. Your call will be returned within 24 hours.
