SEVEN INCREDIBLE YEARS:
BUILDING THE SIGNATURE BRIDGE IN LONG BEACH, CA
PIECE BY PIECE
Today the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge is the iconic landmark welcoming residents and visitors to Long Beach, CA. But in 2013 it was just a vision on paper – a story that needed to be documented and shared. The Port of Long Beach chose Media 360 for this amazing journey.
For seven years, our team regularly captured breath-taking footage, conducted interviews with key stakeholders, including on-site workers, and shared the story with the world. When the Science and Discovery Channels needed footage for their stories, we provided them with hyper lapse, drone, underwater and ground shots as we were there for every step of the build.
We even took the Executive Director to the very top of one of the 515-towers while it was still under construction to speak about the completion of this key milestone.
BY THE NUMBERS
PROJECT FUNDING
The Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project is a joint effort of Caltrans and the Port of Long Beach, with funding contributions from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro).
