CalTrans Update – Upcoming Closures Beginning on Sunday Night, July 5.

 Overnight Closures of Vincent Thomas Bridge and Ferry Street in San Pedro   SAN PEDRO —

Caltrans (District 7) will implement overnight closures of westbound State Route 47 (SR-47) at Vincent Thomas Bridge between Ferry Street and Harbor Boulevard beginning Sunday night, July 5. Closures will occur Sunday night through Friday morning, from 10:45 p.m. to 6:45 a.m.   The westbound SR-47 on-ramp at Ferry Street will also be closed during the overnight closures.

Construction activities include installing an under-deck shield and a work platform that will provide crews access to the bridge deck from multiple locations in advance of the full bridge closure scheduled for November 1, 2026.   During the westbound overnight closures, traffic will be detoured via SR- 47 to Route 103 to Pacific Coast Highway to Route 110. (See map below)  

Additionally, full closures of Ferry Street near SR-47, beneath Vincent Thomas Bridge, will occur from Sunday night, July 5, through Wednesday morning, July 7, between 8 p.m. and 6:45 a.m. each night to allow crews to install protective shielding. During the Ferry Street closures, the eastbound SR-47 Ferry Street off-ramp will remain open, and motorists will be able to turn left onto Ferry Street.   This work is part of the Vincent Thomas Bridge Deck Replacement Project. A critical infrastructure project totaling $752.8 million, the deck replacement will require partial and full closures of the bridge over the next two years. More information is available at the project website. Skanska-CEC Joint Venture is the general contractor for the project.    Due to weather or operational factors, the schedule is subject to change, including dates and times, the number of closures, and other details. Motorists should expect delays when utilizing the Vincent Thomas Bridge and use Caltrans Quickmap to review current traffic conditions before traveling. Caltrans reminds drivers to exercise increased caution near the closure and Slow for the Cone Zone.
