Sixth Street Blues
Underneath the 6th street bridge leading out to the Los Angeles Aqueduct (Viaduct) which unites the Boyle Heights community to the east and the Arts District and Downtown (DTLA) to the west.
Erected in 1932, the 6th Street Viaduct Bridge became an icon, winding up in movies such as Terminator, The Mask, Repo Man, SWAT, Grease, Armed and Dangerous, Batman, and many others. It has also been featured in numerous music videos (Madonna, INXS, Bruno Mars, Kanye West) and television shows. You will even see it if you play Grand Theft Auto. In 1986, this Hollywood icon was entered on the National Register of Historic Places.
Despite its historical status, the bridge was closed for demolition and replacement last month due to concerns over seismic instability. Demolition began just 5 days ago (5 days after this photo was taken).
And here is the future of the bridge:
