State Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, introduced a resolution today to name the Anaheim corridor bridge on Pacific Coast Highway after the late state Sen. Jenny Oropeza of Long Beach.

The bridge runs from Coil Street to the main entrance of the Tesoro refinery in Wilmington.

Lieu said in a statement that Oropeza, his predecessor, worked tirelessly for two years toward the completion of the $107 million project that added a third lane to hasten transportation of goods to and from the nation's busiest port complex.
