Vincent Thomas Bridge, Suspension bridge in San Pedro, US.
The Vincent Thomas Bridge extends 1847 meters across Los Angeles Harbor, connecting San Pedro with Terminal Island through green-painted steel structures.
The bridge opened on November 15, 1963, replacing ferry services and transforming transportation between San Pedro and Terminal Island during Los Angeles port expansion.
Local residents recognize the bridge as a representation of San Pedro maritime heritage, with its towers standing as a gateway to Los Angeles Harbor.
The structure carries State Route 47 traffic and accommodates 32,000 vehicles daily, providing a direct route for cargo trucks from port terminals.
In 2005, the bridge received blue LED lights powered by solar panels, making it the first bridge installation with this combined technology.
