At this massive sign bridge, southbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway reaches Exit 14B, Imperial Highway. However, most of the sign bridge discusses various ways to connect to Exit 14A, Junction Interstate 105/Glenn Anderson (Century) Freeway. This single exit actually consists of four separate ramps connecting to Interstate 105 west and east, including the dedicated carpool lanes (from the Transitway). The HOV ramp to Interstate 105 west pulls away from Interstate 110 south first. 08/26/07
Shortly thereafter, southbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway reaches Exit 14A, Junction Interstate 105/Glenn Anderson (Century) Freeway east and west. Ahead, a rare five-level stack rises above the basin to provide high-speed connections between the two busy freeways. 08/26/07
A massive stack interchange with multiple levels, the junction of Interstate 105 and Interstate 110 is visible from some distance around. The towering flyover ramps show why this monumental freeway interchange is among the tallest structures in this part of Los Angeles. 08/26/07

Interstate 110 Harbor Freeway - South
Leaving the SR 1/Pacific Coast Highway diamond interchange, a distance sign provides the distance to the next three exits along Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway south: Exit 3B, Anaheim Street; Exit 3A, C Street; and Exit 1B, Channel Street/Pacific Avenue. 05/30/04
The right lane becomes exit only for Exit 3B, Anaheim Street. Anaheim Street parallels SR 1/Pacific Coast Highway between SR 213/Western Avenue to the west near Lomita and SR 1 just north of the SR 22 intersection to the east in Long Beach. Anaheim Street intersects Interstate 110, SR 47, SR 103, and Interstate 710 along its route. 05/30/04
For Port of Los Angeles Berths 131-200, use Exit 3A, C Street. 05/30/04
Southbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway reaches Exit 3B, Anaheim Street. 05/30/04

Southbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway reaches Exit 3A, C Street. The following exit is Exit 1B, Channel Street/Pacific Avenue. 05/30/04
The next three exits along southbound Interstate 110 serve San Pedro: Exit 1B, Channel Street/Pacific Avenue; Exit 1A, SR 47 north to Harbor Boulevard and Vincent Thomas Bridge; and Exit 0, Gaffey Street. 05/30/04
Exit numbers have even found their way to southbound Interstate 110. This photo shows a one and a quarter mile advance sign along southbound approaching Exit 1B, Channel Street and Pacific Avenue and Exit 1A, Junction Northbound SR 47/Vincent Thomas Bridge to Terminal Island. The control city on this sign says "Long Beach," but subsequent signs say "Terminal Island" or "Vincent Thomas Bridge." It is even more confusing when you consider that Long Beach is actually east of here, not north, but SR 47 is a north-south route. 05/30/04
Southbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway approaches Exit 1B, Channel Street and Pacific Avenue, three-quarters of a mile. The following offramp -- Exit 1A, SR 47 -- is listed on this distance sign as "Terminal Island" rather than "SR 47." 05/30/04
Use Exit 1B to reach Channel Street and Pacific Avenue. For all cruise ships, maritime museum, and other San Pedro attractions, continue south on Interstate 110 to Exit 1A (SR 47), then turn south on Harbor Boulevard. Interstate 110 itself changes into Gaffey Street, and Gaffey Street also connects to these attractions. 05/30/04
The next exit along southbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway is Exit 1B, Channel Street and Pacific Avenue. 05/30/04
Southbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway reaches Exit 1B, Channel Street and Pacific Avenue. The final exit along southbound is Exit 1A, SR 47 north to Terminal Island and the Alameda Corridor. 05/30/04, 09/29/07
Immediately thereafter, southbound Interstate 110/Harbor Freeway splits at Exit 1A, SR 47 east (north) to the Vincent Thomas Bridge and Terminal Island Freeway. Use SR 47 north to Interstate 710 north to Long Beach. The first exit on northbound SR 47 is Harbor Boulevard; use Harbor Boulevard south to reach the San Pedro waterfront attractions (there is a bit less traffic than on Gaffey Street). 05/30/04
All three lanes of Interstate 110 connect to southbound Gaffey Street, which is the primary route into San Pedro. The right lane has an option of turning right onto northbound Gaffey Street. This upcoming split is governed by a traffic signal which marks the southern terminus of the Harbor Freeway and Interstate 110. 05/30/04
Even as southbound Interstate 110 makes a substandard (15 mile-per-hour advisory speed), sharp turn to the left (south) at a traffic signal to enter the community of San Pedro via southbound Gaffey Street, the freeway is still signed as Interstate 110! After this turn, there are no further Interstate 110 shields. The city street (Gaffey Street) continues south toward the boat launch (to Catalina Island and other offshore destinations). 05/30/04
Gaffey Street / Former California State Route 110 South
The state maintains Gaffey Street as a state highway between First Street and Ninth Street in San Pedro; however, the route is unsigned. Provisions in state law (from 2008) allow for the decommissioning of this street to the city of Los Angeles when specified conditions are met. These conditions may have been met in 2009, warranting that this route be considered decommissioned south of the Gaffey Street traffic signal. After turning onto Gaffey Street, southbound SR 110 meets First Street at this traffic signal in San Pedro. 09/29/07
To Liberty Hill, turn left (east) on Fifth Street. 09/29/07
Southbound SR 110 meets Fifth Street at this traffic signal in San Pedro. The state highway only continues for another four blocks. 09/29/07, 05/30/04
To the San Pedro Downtown Central Business District and the San Pedro Sportswalk, turn east along Sixth Street. 09/29/07
Southbound SR 110/Gaffey Street meets Seventh Street at this traffic signal. More businesses and commercial establishments line Gaffey Street south of here. Most of the port areas are just east of here along Harbor Boulevard (turn east on Sixth Street, Seventh Street, or Ninth Street). 09/29/07
The state route ends at the intersection with Ninth Street in San Pedro. Gaffey Street continues south through San Pedro, with a connection to 25th Street and ending at Paseo del Mar near the Point Fermin Historic Lighthouse. 09/29/07
