Santa Monica Pier Bridge Replacement Project Construction Update

March Construction Update

In preparation for the demolition and reconstruction of the Santa Monica Pier Bridge later this year, crews will construct a temporary pedestrian bridge and vehicle ramp to maintain access to the Pier and its attractions. Details on upcoming work to support construction of the temporary pedestrian bridge and ramp are provided below.

Foundation Drilling Work for Temporary Pedestrian Bridge

Starting on Friday, March 13, crews are expected to start drilling work at several locations to construct the foundation of the temporary pedestrian bridge. Drilling activities will last approximately four to six days at each location and will take place on weekdays between 5 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. through late April.

The image below shows the order of drilling operations. This work may be loud and disruptive; efforts will be made to mitigate impacts.

Curb Ramp Work on Seaside Terrace

Crews will perform staged paving activities as part of the curb and gutter improvements that are ongoing at Seaside Terrace and Appian Way.

Monday, March 16 to Wednesday, March 18

Full closure of Seaside Terrace between Ocean Avenue and Appian Way and partial closure of northeast side of Appian Way.

Thursday, March 19 to Friday, March 20

Full closure of Seaside Terrace between Ocean Avenue and Ocean Front Walk and partial closure of southwest side of Appian Way. Access to Parker’s Parking Lot (near Hot Dog on A Stick) may be temporarily restricted depending on paving activities.

During these closures, Appian way will be turned into a one-way street, allowing traffic to access the Pier parking lot at all times. Flaggers and signage will be on-site to direct traffic.

We appreciate your patience as this project involves equipment that may produce noise during operations. Access to driveways will be maintained at all times.

Moomat Ahiko Way Off-Ramp to Close For One Week

In order to create protected work zones to construct the temporary pedestrian bridge, crews will fully closed Moomat Ahiko Way off-ramp from PCH from Monday March 30 to Friday, April 3.

The Moomat Ahiko Off-Ramp single-lane closure is still in effect and will continue through the duration of the construction.

Temporary Vehicle Ramp Construction

Crews continue construction of the temporary vehicle ramp on the north side of the Pier. Expected to be complete at the end of March, the ramp will serve delivery and emergency vehicles during construction of the Pier bridge later this year.
