The video about the construction process of the Gerald-Desmont Bridge (Los Angeles) is already available on the YouTube channel of FCC Construcción.

FCC Construcción executes the replacement project of the current Gerald Desmond Bridge, built in 1968 on the Back Channel of the Port of Long Beach, for reasons of security in the face of an earthquake, the expected growth in traffic in the coming years and the need for greater vertical gauges for the current container ships.

The main structure is solved by means of a cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 305 m. in length and located at 61 m. on the Back Channel and two extreme spans of 152 m. The project includes the approach structures on Ocean Boulevard, the reconfiguration and improvement of two links, the construction of bike lanes along the route and the diversion of the affected services.

The approach bridges to the cable-stayed section have a length of 900 m. on the west side and 1,155 m on the east side. To the west of the bridge, an underpass adjacent to the one existing at the intersection between Ocean Boulevard and the SR-47 is made. To the east, the link between Ocean Boulevard and Highway 710, Pico Avenue and docks E and D will be remodeled.
