Henry Ford Bridge

It carries the Pacific Harbor Line railroad across the Cerritos Channel to Terminal Island from San Pedro, to serve the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach.

It was built to accommodate operations at the Ford Long Beach Assembly plant which opened in 1930 and was closed in 1959.

[1] The contract for the bascule bridge was placed by The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners in 1922.
