Vincent Thomas Bridge
The Vincent Thomas Bridge is a 1,500-foot-long suspension bridge connecting San Pedro with Terminal Island. The towers are 365 feet high, the clear height of the navigation channel is approximately 185 feet. It was the first welded suspension bridge in the United States and the only one in the world supported entirely on pilings. It opened in 1963, named for California Assemblyman Vincent Thomas of San Pedro, who championed its construction.
