Pier Bridge Replacement Project Moves Forward

Design Is Expected to Take a Year, While Construction Could Begin in 2025

By Zach Armstrong

Santa Monica City Council approved an Environmental Quality Act report unanimously, advancing the anticipated Pier Bridge Replacement Project.

The LA County Department of Public Works routinely inspects the Pier Bridge and has deemed it structurally deficient. Original construction of the bridge doesn’t meet current standards and has a “sufficiency rating” of 8.2 on a scale of 100, according to an agenda item. The replacement project would replace the bridge with a new structure designed to current standards and have a 75-year service life.

Design of the project is expected to take a year, while construction could begin Fall 2025 taking between as much as two years. The estimated completion is prior to the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics.
