6th Street Viaduct
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:
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.
