SAN PEDRO, Calif. – The Coast Guard initiated a public comment period Tuesday pertaining to the approval of location and plans for the modification of a bridge located in Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor at mile 2.6 at the Port of Los Angeles.
The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department is proposing to modify the existing dual bridge by constructing an additional rail bridge between the existing east rail and west vehicular bridge.
