Freeway Roadside Repair Around the Harbor
Every route out of San Pedro Bay breaks trucks in its own way. These pages cover the exits, interchanges, trouble spots, and what to do while you wait on each one.
Know your road
The fastest roadside repair starts with an exact location. “The 710” could mean twenty miles of freeway. “Northbound 710 just past Willow, right shoulder” gets a mechanic to you.
Each page below lists the exits and interchanges, the kind of traffic that runs there, where breakdowns tend to happen, and where you can safely get off the road — which on SR-47 and the bridges is a genuinely different question than it is on the 405.
- I-710I-710Ocean Blvd to East L.A. — the main drayage artery out of San Pedro Bay.
- I-110I-110San Pedro to downtown — the west-side port artery through Wilmington, Carson and Gardena.
- SR 47SR-47 & the BridgesVincent Thomas Bridge, Seaside Ave, Ocean Blvd and the Schuyler Heim — the pure port-truck route.
- SR 47Alameda St & Harbor RoutesAlameda St, Harry Bridges, Anaheim St and PCH — the surface routes between the terminals and the yards.
- I-405I-405Torrance to Seal Beach — the east–west link crossing both the 110 and the 710.
- SR 91SR-91The warehouse belt crossbar — the 110, the 710 and the 605 in about twelve miles.
Quick reference: key crossings and interchanges
A few points come up on almost every call around the harbor. Knowing them makes it easier to tell dispatch exactly where the truck is sitting.
- Vincent Thomas Bridge — SR-47 from I-110 in San Pedro across to Terminal Island. No usable shoulder; if you stop on it, call 911 first.
- Schuyler Heim Bridge — SR-47 over the Cerritos Channel, where SR-103 continues north as the Terminal Island Freeway.
- Ocean Boulevard — carries port traffic east off Terminal Island to the south end of the I-710.
- Harry Bridges Boulevard — the main port-access surface route in Wilmington; the rebuilt I-110 C Street off-ramp feeds it directly.
- The Alameda Street grade separations — Sepulveda, 223rd Street, Carson Street, and Del Amo Boulevard, alongside the Alameda Corridor.
- The I-405 / I-110 interchange in Carson — the busiest breakdown location in the service area outside the harbor itself.
- The I-710 / SR-91 interchange — at the Compton line, where the Alameda Corridor drops into its trench.
How to call in a freeway breakdown
Give the freeway, your direction of travel, and the nearest exit or cross street. On the surface truck routes — Harry Bridges, Anaheim, Alameda — give the cross streets instead. Inside the port, give the berth or pier letter and say whether you are inside a terminal gate. Our breakdown guide covers warning triangle placement and what else to have ready.
