Weekend lane closures for Long Beach Bridge

Roadwork will result in intermittent lane closures on the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge this weekend, Aug. 12-13.

Vehicles will be restricted to the right lane of traffic on both the eastbound and westbound directions of the bridge from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The Mark Bixby Memorial Bicycle-Pedestrian Path and Ocean Boulevard Connector will not be affected by the roadwork.

Motorists should exercise caution while driving through the work zone and heed the direction of officers.

If additional work is required, the bridge will be narrowed to one lane of traffic from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. the following Saturdays, Aug. 19 and Aug. 26.

The Long Beach International Gateway Bridge opened to vehicles in October 2020 with three traffic lanes in each direction.
