Its the "Vincent Thomas Bridge," not the "St. Vincent Thomas Bridge." Thomas was a City Councilman from, I believe, San Pedro (which was annexed to Los Angeles a long time ago).

By the way, don't feel bad; the Robert DeNiro character in the movie Heat with Al Pacino called it the "St. Vincent Thomas Bridge" as well.

The bridge is called the Vincent Thomas Bridge after a local assemblyman from the 60/70's. It spans the shipping channel in the Port of Los Angeles. Have used it countless times. Even though this is All Saint's Day, please don't include him.
