LA/Long Beach port bridge to close 16 months for deck renovation

A key bridge over State Route 47 serving the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will close for 16 months starting early 2027, with detours through San Pedro and Wilmington until early 2028. The closure will disrupt truck and commuter traffic to the busiest U.S. port complex, potentially causing supply chain delays and increased logistics costs. The full impact depends on how efficiently detours handle freight volumes.
