The new Sixth Street Viaduct, when completed next year, will be hard to miss. Ten pairs of continuous arches will create a sinuous profile as the 3,060-ft-long, 100-ft-wide viaduct soars over the 101 Freeway, several railroads, the LA River and the downtown Los Angeles arts district.
The structure replaces a 3,500-ft-long, 46-ft-wide viaduct that served as a backdrop for dozens of movies, TV shows, music videos and video games. The $588-million project is the largest infrastructure effort underway in the city of Los Angeles.
