SAN PEDRO — Several road and ramp closures will begin next week for the area around the Port of Los Angeles as part of an interchange improvement project, officials announced Monday.
Starting Aug. 18, the on-ramp from Harbor Boulevard to the Harbor (110) Freeway and the off-ramp from southbound Highway 47 at Harbor Boulevard will be closed.
The closures near the Vincent Thomas Bridge will be in effect for ongoing construction of new roadways and ramps, according to the Port of L.A.
“A new northbound on-ramp to (the) 110 and southbound off-ramp to state Route 47 will open in November 2025, along with a newly realigned Knoll Drive,” according to port officials.
Until then, residents and local commuters were advised to jump onto the northbound 110 from Gaffey Street in San Pedro. That freeway entrance can be accessed from First Street and Harbor Boulevard.
“Drivers exiting southbound state Route 47 will be rerouted via Pacific Avenue to Harbor Boulevard,” port officials stated.
Truckers were advised to follow posted traffic signs and detours.
The State Route 47 Interchange Project will see the replacement of the southbound Highway 47 off-ramp from the Vincent Thomas Bridge. The ramp is being moved from the south to the north side.
“Additional improvements include realigning the existing on-ramp to the northbound I-110 connector; modifying the northbound SR 47 off-ramp onto Harbor Boulevard; modifying the northbound SR 47 on-ramp onto the bridge toward Terminal Island; and improving local streets near the interchange,” according to port officials.
