Long Beach International Gateway Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Long Beach, United States

The Long Beach International Gateway Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge with two red concrete pylons rising 515 feet, their thin white cables fanning out to support a 2,000-foot cable-stayed span. It carries six lanes of Interstate 710 and a bicycle/pedestrian path across the Back Channel from Long Beach to Terminal Island.

This bridge replaced an earlier structure from 1968 that could no longer handle the port's growing demands. Construction started in 2013 and the new bridge opened to traffic in 2020.

The bridge's name was adopted for the new span; the earlier structure honoured Gerald Desmond, a former Long Beach city attorney and civic leader. Its opening on 5 October 2020 was marked by the Port of Long Beach, and the crossing now carries the western extension of Interstate 710, linking the city to Terminal Island.

The bridge offers good views of the port and the ships passing underneath, especially when traveling at a slower pace or by bicycle. The quietest times to cross are during off-peak hours when traffic is lighter and you can better observe your surroundings.

The bridge stands in the Wilmington Oil Field, one of the most productive oil fields in the United States. Piers could not be built until numerous old and active oil wells and utility lines were relocated or removed, which delayed foundation work after the 2013 groundbreaking.
