SB Pico Off-Ramp Closure Begins Tonight, Nov. 30
Instead of two off-ramps, there will be only one.
When heading east on Ocean Boulevard, the off-ramp that will close permanently is on the south side of the fork, and closest to the Long Beach Container Terminal (LBCT). For a detailed map of the area, check out the post above.
Coming Soon: New Off-Ramp Construction
Requires new falsework around Pico & changes to the traffic patterns.
In this month's video update, Duane Kenagy, head of the Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project, discusses a new off-ramp from the eastbound decline into downtown Long Beach.
Final Concrete Pour for the Blue Bridge-Builder
Watch how a concrete pour occurs on a large surface.
In early October, crews on the blue movable scaffolding system (MSS) performed a concrete pour for the road deck on the final segment that the huge machine will construct.
Then & Now: the East Tower
Main span construction is well underway.
The Then photo was taken in March 2016. From approximately the same angle, the Now photo shows a fully constructed east tower with the pier table and several cable-stays installed.
SoCal's First-Ever Texas U-Turn
The U-turn will run under the Ocean Blvd. overpass on Terminal Island.
Scheduled to open in early-2019, this roadway will accelerate goods movement for truckers and Port tenants in the area, and provide safe and smoother driving through the intersection for everyone.
