Topline:
A three-month closure of freeway off- and on-ramps near the Vincent Thomas Bridge starts Monday.
The backstory: Caltrans and the Port of Los Angeles are working on the state Route 47 Interchange Project to replace the southbound state Route 47 off-ramp from the Vincent Thomas Bridge with a new off-ramp on the north side. Port officials say this is to reduce travel time, alleviate congestion, and protect pedestrians and motorists.
Other improvements in the works include realigning the current on-ramp to the northbound 110 Freeway connector. You can read more about the project here.
What’s closed: Crews will close the northbound 110 Freeway on-ramp at Harbor Boulevard and the southbound state Route 47 off-ramp at Harbor Boulevard. New ramps for both of those areas will open in November, including a newly realigned Knoll Drive.
Where to detour: Drivers can use Gaffey Street in San Pedro to access the northbound 110 Freeway. That’s accessible from 1st Street and Harbour Boulevard.
For drivers exiting the southbound state Route 47, use Pacific Avenue to Harbour Boulevard.
