Queensway Twin Bridges, Twin bridges in Long Beach, United States
The Queensway Twin Bridges are two parallel roadway structures crossing the Los Angeles River in Long Beach, each with three lanes per direction and a pedestrian path. The construction links downtown with the port area and Terminal Island.
The bridges opened in 1970 after several years of planning and construction to improve regional traffic flow. They were built in response to growing transportation needs in the area.
The bridges serve as backdrops for film and television productions and shape how the port city looks. Visitors may recognize these structures from various well-known media productions.
The bridges are passable by car but pedestrian access is limited since they carry heavy traffic. Visitors should avoid rush hours and be aware of busy road conditions.
Each bridge contains a central section that was installed as a prefabricated unit weighing hundreds of tons. This engineering solution allowed faster construction than traditional building methods.
