The bridge opened in 1968. The 5,134-foot-long through-arch bridge was closed to traffic in October 2020, when a replacement bridge opened.
The Port of Long Beach held a retirement ceremony today for the decommissioned Gerald Desmond Bridge, which will be demolished to allow better access to the port's Inner Harbor for large cargo vessels.
The 5,134-foot-long through-arch bridge was closed to traffic in October 2020, when a replacement bridge opened. The demolition project has not been scheduled, but Saturday morning's retirement ceremony included Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia, Board of Harbor Commissioners Vice President Sharon Weissman, Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero, Rep. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, Assemblyman Patrick O'Donnell, D-Long Beach, and Gerald Desmond Jr.
Funding for the demolition was included in the $1.57 billion budget to build the replacement bridge. The port awarded a contract for the project in July to Kiewit West Inc.
