Motorists will face a weekend closure of the southbound Long Beach (710) Freeway in Long Beach beginning Friday evening, Port of Long Beach officials said.<\/p>\n
The freeway will be fully closed at Anaheim Street from 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday. The southbound Shoemaker Bridge connector and offramp to downtown Long Beach will also be closed.<\/p>\n
Southbound motorists will be directed to exit at Anaheim Street-East and use Long Beach Boulevard to reach downtown and other destinations to the south.<\/p>\n
Southbound trucks will be detoured via the San Diego (405) Freeway or Pacific Coast Highway to Alameda Street, then to the southbound Terminal Island Freeway to reach the port complex.<\/p>\n
The northbound Shoemaker Bridge, which connects downtown Long Beach to the northbound 710 Freeway, will remain open.<\/p>\n
Signs will be posted throughout affected areas to direct motorists, according to port officials.<\/p>\n
The closures are part of the third and final weekend detour associated with a construction project to remove ramps that once connected the Shoemaker Bridge to the north harbor area in West Long Beach. The ramps have been closed since May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Motorists will face a weekend closure of the southbound Long Beach (710) Freeway in Long Beach beginning Friday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[187076,174,7862,5154,131,133,132,176,2695],"class_list":["post-476141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-affect","tag-beach","tag-closure","tag-freeway","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news","tag-motorists","tag-weekend"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
