There was a block party on the new 6th Street Viaduct in Los Angeles on July 9 and I went to it. It was open only from the Boyle Heights (eastern) end, and it only went to the edge of the L.A. River where a performance platform was set up for bands. There were about three more arches past that point that we couldn't get to. I took a lot of photos and the complete set is here. Some samples:

The spiral ramp that will provide access to the park to be constructed under the bridge, east of the L.A. River.

Besides the ramp, there will be stairways, but none are open yet.

The neighborhood the bridge passes above.

When I walked off the bridge I was surprised to see a lot of locals walking down the onramp to northbound 101. I followed them and it turns out they all knew where the best spot was to get a sunset view of the bridge and downtown skyline.
