Either a full or partial closure of the bridge would happen during $745 million project plan to replace the entire deck.
A main thoroughfare over the Los Angeles Harbor is lined up for repairs, and Caltrans is asking the public the best way to go about it. Construction on the Vincent Thomas Bridge is expected to begin next year to fix the rapidly deteriorating deck. The bridge opened in 1963, and years of exposure to the marine environment and heavy truck traffic have worn down the bridge's deck. This would be a years-long endeavor, and traffic diversions would affect residential areas near the bridge.
Orthotropic and Pre-Cast deck types would lead to a construction timeline of approximately 16 months. A Cast-in-Place deck type would lead to a construction timeline of approximately 41 months. ⢠Two-Stage Construction: One lane would remain open in each direction for each stage .
