County Supervisor Janice Hahn is awaiting a response from Caltrans Friday after sending the state agency a letter expressing her concerns over traffic impacts caused by a future bridge project in San Pedro.
Caltrans is in the process of finalizing the environmental planning phase of its Vincent Thomas Bridge Deck Replacement Project. The project aims to replace the entire bridge deck and its seismic sensors, and upgrade bridge railings, fences and median barrier.
Since April, the agency has held meetings for members of the public to comment on the project’s draft environmental impact report and environmental assessment, which ended early last week. Caltrans anticipates the release of this document in the fall, which will outline a selected alternative chosen for construction and identify detour routes. A motorist information plan will be developed soon after as well.
