| Details | TOPIC - CONSTRUCTION UPDATE OF THE GERALD DESMOND BRIDGE The ASCE Orange County Branch, the Orange County Structural Engineering Institute (T&DI) Chapter, and the Orange Counry Construction Institute invite you to attend the March Luncheon featuring Zeph Varley for a presentation on the Port of Long Beach Gerald Desmond Bridge project which is currently under construction. The Gerald Desmond Bridge has become a vital part of the nation's infrastructure, with nearly 15 percent of the nation's waterborne cargo trucked across the bridge. It is a critical access route for the Port of Long Beach, downtown Long Beach and surrounding communities. The new bridge will be built with a cable-stayed design and will be high enough to accommodate the newest generation of the most efficient cargo ships. In addition, the new bridge will be wider and better able to accommodate existing and future traffic volumes. The Gerald Desmond Bridge has been designated as a National Highway System Intermodal Connector Route and part of the Federal Strategic Highway Network. It is a critical structure serving the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, the City of Long Beach, Los Angeles and Orange counties, and the nation. Building the new bridge will generate about 3,000 jobs. The bridge expected to be completed between late-2017 to mid-2018.
