LONG BEACH (CNS) - Nearly eight months after it opened, the new bridge traversing the Port of Long Beach finally got a name today.
The span that replaced the aging and too-small Gerald Desmond Bridge will henceforth be known as “Long Beach International Gateway, according to Sen. Lena Gonzalez and Assemblyman Patrick O Donnell, both D-Long Beach.
“The community has spoken and they made a great choice, O Donnell said in a statement. “The name `Long Beach International Gateway Bridge appropriately signifies Long Beach as the gateway to the American economy. Thank you to the community for helping us in this very important endeavor.
