Overnight Closures of Southbound State Route 47 at the Vincent Thomas Bridge
There will be no closures Sunday or Monday night in observance of Labor Day
SAN PEDRO — Caltrans will conduct three overnight closures of southbound State Route 47 (SR-47) between Ferry Street and Harbor Boulevard on Sep. 8-11 for construction on the Vincent Thomas Bridge. Closures will occur Tuesday night through Friday morning, from 10:45 p.m. to 6:45 a.m., blocking all westerly travel across the bridge toward Interstate 110.
The Ferry Street on-ramp to southbound SR-47 will also be closed during the overnight work. Traffic will be detoured via northbound SR-47 to SR-103 before diverting west on Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1) to Interstate 110. (See map below.)
Construction activities include the installation of working platforms and structural bracing beneath the roadway. These efforts are part of preliminary construction on the Vincent Thomas Bridge Deck Replacement Project, which will fully close the bridge for sixteen months beginning in November 2026.
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.
