California State Route 47


After leaving the Heim Bridge, southbound SR 47-103 (Terminal Island Freeway) meets Exit 4 to New Dock Street. 05/02/10

Moviegoers may recognize some of this industrial area around the lift bridge. The bridge can be clearly seen on the section of the "New Jersey Turnpike" portrayed in the movie "Being John Malkovich". All of the scenes showing the characters landing alongside the "turnpike" after their trip in John Malkovich's head were in reality landing in a ditch alongside SR 47 with some seemingly authentic Interstate shields with the state name. 09/28/08

A viaduct carries SR 47-103 south between the Schuyler Heim Bridge and the Ocean Boulevard interchange. 05/02/10

Prior to the completion of the diamond interchange between the Terminal Island Freeway and Ocean Boulevard, this trailblazer referenced the continuation of SR 47 westbound onto Ocean Boulevard. 03/30/03

With the interchange in place, the traffic signal linked the Terminal Island Freeway with a frontage road for Ocean Boulevard. 05/02/10
