Los Angeles County, California Bridges: Sixth Street Bridge across the Los Angeles River (4)

August 2013 (34.03722 Degrees, -118.23038 Degrees) 6th Street Bridge
The Sixth Street Bridge (53C1880) was built in 1932 across the Los Angeles River in Downtown L.A. It's an iconic structure and like many of the other Los Angeles River Bridges it's been used in many films. In fact, the campaign to replace the 6th Street Bridge with a new iconic structure is being promoted in YouTube videos with the mayor of Los Angeles and even the Friends of the Los Angeles River. The bridge is in a depressed area of Los Angeles and the hope is that a user friendly, happy-looking bridge will help turn the area from an industrial wasteland into a green parkway full of strolling families and picnickers.
