Vincent Thomas Bridge closes Nov. 7 for 16 months: detours, the $750M plan and what the ports say
Caltrans will fully close the Vincent Thomas Bridge and State Route 47 on Nov. 7 for 16 months to replace the bridge deck, a roughly $750 million project. Detours are expected to route traffic via the Heim and Gerald Desmond bridges, and the Port of Los Angeles says only about 8% of its truck traffic uses the span. Caltrans expects the bridge to reopen in early 2028.
