The days of the Gerald Desmond Bridge are numbered - but that number is much higher than the Port of Long Beach would like. Replacing the 41-year-old bridge continues to top the port's list of construction projects, but a lack of funding for the so-called "bridge to everywhere" continues to stymie efforts to get the seven-year, $1.1 billion project under way. The port has currently secured roughly half of the funds needed to complete the project and continues to seek funding at the regional and federal level to make up the difference.
