Everything you'd wanna skate, you'll find on the two-mile stretch from Santa Monica to Venice. From Natas to P-Rod, the sand gaps to the triple set, Ted Barrow outlines the history of this hallowed ground. >

As part of the Pier Bridge Replacement Project, construction crews will temporarily close the Moomat Ahiko Way off-ramp from southbound Pacific Coast Highway from Feb. 9 through Feb. 27 to construct the foundation for a temporary pedestrian bridge ahead of the pier bridge reconstruction.

The pedestrian bridge will ensure continued access to the Santa Monica Pier throughout the project.

Motorists traveling to the area are advised to allow for extra travel time and use alternate routes during the two-week off-ramp closure period. A map of suggested detours is available here.

Pier restaurants, shops and entertainment, as well as parking and visitor access will remain open and accessible throughout the Pier Bridge Replacement construction period, ensuring residents and visitors can continue to enjoy the Pier with minimal disruption.

The new temporary library is now open Tuesdays-Saturdays from 1-5pm in the parking lot at 861 Alma Real Drive, where you can explore the new space, browse the new collection, and see familiar faces from the library community.
