This bridge is so high that military planes can fly under it. Not so great if you are afraid of heights, but a lot of fun to cross. Vincent Thomas Bridge spans the main channel between San Pedro and Terminal Island and is 6,500 feet long and rises 185 feet above the water. It is a major commuting route for people traveling between Long Beach and the San Pedro area.

The on-ramps are outright dangerous. Giant trucks bear down at breakneck speed. Trying to get on the bridge in a car, you risk life and limb.
Morewas in the area for a special event and this was the best way to get there. This visit there was not a lot of traffic and noticed no trash on the bridge. Great views of the working harbor.
MoreIconic and historic, this is a piece of California history. Old school bridge that is a pleasure to see in California.
MoreI get a surge of excitement, when I see this amazing green bridge. It's the iconic symbol of the busy port of San Pedro. I know that soon I will be aboard my Princess Cruise and on my way for another vacation.
MoreWatching the traffic cross the bridge from the harbour was interesting. We were on a cruise ship so reasonably high and close enough for a good view. It was interesting to see how long it took the container lorries to get across from one dock to the other side. Guess it is a strange hobby watching traffic crossing a bridge but we enjoy it. We did not actually need to cross the bridge so cannot comment on a drive over.
