Pier Construction Activities and Updates
Construction of the new Santa Monica Pier Bridge is expected to begin in late-2025 and last approximately two years. Work will take place near the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Colorado Avenue and extend to the Pier entrance. Activities will include installation of a temporary pedestrian bridge and temporary vehicle ramp before demolition of the existing bridge, removal of the existing bridge, installation of new structural supports, and construction of the new bridge with widened sidewalks and enhanced safety features.
Throughout construction, the project will implement traffic control measures to increase safety for crews and the public, maintain as much pier access as possible, and protect neighboring buildings and businesses. Additional construction mitigation measures will be implemented to reduce possible public impacts related to construction such has noise, vibration, dust, and increased pedestrian traffic.
Ongoing construction updates are regularly shared to keep residents, businesses, and visitors informed about project progress, road closures, pier access, and other key project milestone.
