Project

The Avalon Pedestrian Bridge will be the first of the two phases. It will provide safe and direct pedestrian access over the Pacific Harbor Rail Line train tracks and realigned Water Street to the future Wilmington Waterfront Promenade. In February 2017, the Los Angeles Harbor Commission approved a three-year, $1.5 million contract with engineering firm T.Y. Lin International to design the 1,300-foot-pedestrian bridge.  The total project cost is $23.8 million with Measure M grant funding of $8.1 million from Metro. Construction is expected to start in the summer of 2022.
