Los Angeles County, California Bridges: Hyperion and Glendale Bridges across the Los Angeles River (3)

May 2015 (34.1138 Degrees, -118.2654 Degrees) Los Angeles River Bridges
The aerial photo above shows the complex geometry of the Hyperion and Glendale Bridges. These bridges are important historical and cultural monuments but they're old and seismically vulnerable. Considerable community outreach was taken to reach consensus on an upgrade to restore these bridges while improving traffic flow and seismic resistance. However, when it was found out that no bicycle lanes were provided, vociferous protests resulted in delays until a multimodal design was made.
