FCC Construcción has completed the replacement work on the main section of Gerald Desmond (Los Angeles), the first cable-stayed bridge in California.

The project consists of replacing the current Gerald Desmond bridge, built in 1968 on the Back Channel of the Port of Long Beach, for reasons of security against earthquakes, due to the growth in traffic expected in the coming years and the need for greater clearance. verticals for current container ships. The construction of the Gerald Desmond Bridge employs 3,000 people a year, has a positive impact on the Southern California economy, will generate an improvement in traffic flow and increase security.

The FCC Group construction area has built more than 1,650 bridges and viaducts, of all types: fixed and tilting bridges, steel, concrete and mixed; straight span bridges of medium span or large span, arched, cable-stayed and suspension; made “in situ” on static formwork, self-launching formwork, pushed, by successive cantilevers or using large maritime cranes.
