On October 5, 2020, the replacement for the Gerald Desmond bridge opened to traffic in Long Beach, California. The new cable-stayed bridge is the first of it's kind in California. The new bridge has a vertical clearance of 205 feet, allowing for new, larger ships to access interior of the port of Long Beach. Construction on the new bridge began in 2013, and the old bridge will be demolished in 2021.



In this video, you will see a driver's perspective view of both the old and new bridges from both the westbound and eastbound journeys.
