长滩港各码头延长闸口时间六周：因应 Vincent Thomas Bridge 11月7日起封闭施工
长滩港（Port of Long Beach）10月29日宣布，港内各码头自10月下旬起延长卡车闸口开放时间至晚间与周六，为期六周（感恩节周除外），以因应洛杉矶港 Vincent Thomas Bridge 自11月7日起的封闭。
港务局表示，这座大桥因加州交通厅（Caltrans）的桥面更换工程封闭，工程为期16个月。延长闸口时间意在为货主提供更多提货与还柜时段，缓解大桥封闭对货流与交通的影响，具体安排可查阅长滩港闸口时间专页。
长滩港首席执行官 Dr. Noel Hacegaba 表示，港方与码头运营商、国际码头与仓储工会及卡车运输协会提前协作规划，把封闭的影响降到最低。港务委员会主席 Steven Neal 表示，长滩港在桥封闭期间将保持开放，并以客户看重的效率处理货物。
Port of Long Beach Terminals Add Extended Gate Hours for Six Weeks Ahead of Vincent Thomas Bridge Closure
The Port of Long Beach announced on October 29 that participating terminals will keep their truck gates open into the evenings and on Saturdays starting in late October, for six weeks excluding the week of Thanksgiving, ahead of the November 7 closure of the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the neighboring Port of Los Angeles.
The bridge closure is part of Caltrans' 16-month deck replacement project. The port said the extended hours give shippers more ways to move cargo and access container terminals during the closure; details are posted on the port's gate hours page.
"We know that time and flexibility are important to our customers when it comes to moving cargo and running a business," Port CEO Dr. Noel Hacegaba said, adding that the port planned proactively with terminal operators, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Harbor Trucking Association. Harbor Commission President Steven Neal said the Port of Long Beach will remain open throughout the bridge closure.
