Reminder – Local 63 Website Password Protection
Attention Members:
As noted in the Local 63 May 2026 Bulletin, the Local 63 website “Dispatch” and “Resources” will be password protected for members only. It was scheduled and turned on today; however, because some members had difficulties with the log-in, the password protection has been turned off until we can identify and resolve any glitches.
If you don’t already have it, it is recommended to download the Local 63 free app, which you can find in your phone’s app store. Your sign in credentials will be the same for accessing all the website resources on the website and through the app.
Local 63 will give more reminders prior to turning on the password protection and will provide you a means for testing your log in prior to turning on the website’s password protection.
Thank you.

Caltrans Update – Vincent Thomas Bridge Overnight Closures – Tues 5/26 – Fri 5/29
Attention Members: See below Caltrans press release regarding Vincent Thomas Bridge overnight closures from Tuesday night 5/26 10:45 p.m. until Friday morning 5/29 6:45 a.m.
Overnight Closures of Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro There will be no closures Sunday or Monday night in observance of Memorial Day
SAN PEDRO — Caltrans (District 7) will implement overnight closures of westbound State Route 47 (SR-47) at Vincent Thomas Bridge between Ferry Street and Harbor Boulevard beginning Tuesday night, May 26. Closures will occur nightly from 10:45 p.m. to 6:45 a.m., Tuesday night through Friday morning. Additionally, the westbound SR-47 on-ramp at Ferry Street will be closed during these overnight closures. Initial construction activities include the installation of an under-deck shield and working platform, as well as staircases for crews to access the bridge deck from multiple locations, ahead of the full bridge closure scheduled for November 1, 2026. Overnight closures in the eastbound direction will begin at a later date. Caltrans will provide advance notification before they are implemented. The overnight closure work is expected to continue through summer 2026, with occasional overnight closures occurring in the fall. Daytime construction activities will not require bridge closures. During the westbound overnight closures, traffic will be detoured via SR- 47 to Route 103 to Pacific Coast Highway to Route 110. (See map below) This work is part of the Vincent Thomas Bridge Deck Replacement Project. A critical infrastructure project totaling $752.8 million, the deck replacement will require partial and full closures of the bridge over the next two years. More information is available at the project website. Skanska-CEC Joint Venture is the general contractor for the project. Due to weather or operational factors, the schedule is subject to change, including dates and times, the number of closures, and other details. Motorists should expect delays when utilizing the Vincent Thomas Bridge and use Caltrans Quickmap to review current traffic conditions before traveling. Caltrans reminds drivers to exercise increased caution near the closure and Slow for the Cone Zone.
