Another milestone for the Sixth Street Viaduct Replacement Project! We will be pouring two arches over the 101 Freeway, which will mean the freeway will be closed between Friday, April 30 at 10:00 PM and Monday, May 3 at 5:00 AM. Watch for traffic alerts!

This weekend, watch out for detour signs as Route 101 through Downtown LA will be closed between Friday, April 30 at 10:00 PM and Monday, May 3 at 5:00 AM due to concrete arch construction at the Sixth Street Viaduct Replacement Project!

It's DAY 5 of ENGINEERS WEEK, and today we look at a key element critical to any major civil engineering project, and that is how a structure will be SUPPORTED. The answer is, in the case of the new Sixth Street Viaduct, with 23 columns and 2 abutments that have piles (foundations) that extend 150' underground, which is about fifteen stories deep! Incredible! Enjoy today's photos of the columns in phases of construction over the past 16 months.

Hello again everyone, it's already Day 4 of ENGINEERS WEEK, and before the week gets away from us, we must feature the element of the new Sixth Street Viaduct that is the most identifiable and iconic, the ARCHES. Altogether there will be TEN sets of arches (twenty in total) - each arch is 10' wide and approx 300' long! The arches support the deck of the viaduct with a cable network. Today's photos give a sense of the dimensions and scale of the arches and support, both above... and below the deck. (Photos courtesy of Gary Leonard) A milestone for the arches is quickly approaching in the coming weeks, when concrete will be poured to complete the arches. Stay tuned to these pages for updates on the "arch pours" and photos!

It's a new week and time for our first Sixth Street Viaduct arch reveal! Below is one of our first completed arches with much (but not all) of the form work removed. And for today's fun fact - two arches require 520 cubic yards of concrete! Enjoy today's photo and stay tuned for more developments.

Today is Day 3 of ENGINEERS WEEK, and while people may first think of architecture or physics or design when they hear the word "engineer", today we want to highlight another element of our work - which is the sheer amount of material needed to build a structure like the new Sixth Street Viaduct. So here's today's fact: 110,000 tons of concrete and 8,250 tons of steel is being used to build the viaduct. Here are some photos of the concrete being poured for the new Viaduct, the deck of which will be 40' wider than that of the old Viaduct. (Photos courtesy of Gary Leonard)

Happy Monday All, it is Day 2 of ENGINEERS WEEK, which we are celebrating with facts and photos from the construction of a new iconic structure emerging in LA - the new Sixth Street Viaduct! Here's today's fact: The length of the new Sixth Street Viaduct is 3,500 feet, and in addition to freeways, it also spans 18 railroad tracks operated by 5 different railroad agencies. Today's photos include a close-up of the portion of the viaduct being built over the tracks, as well as an aerial shot of the entire span (the railroad tracks being on the far side closest to Downtown). Enjoy! (photos courtesy of Gary Leonard)

The Sixth Street Bridge is now less than two years away from complete, and it’s not far from looking like it’s final form. I can tell you that we have started to build the formwork for the arches, which is a big milestone, said Mary Nemick from the city’s Bureau of Engineering. The city’s Board of Public Works received an update on the project last week, which also showed that the bridge now has a paved roadway, with some metalwork along the side outlining where arches are ...going to go. When it's finished, the bridge will measure about 3,500 feet, just like the old Sixth Street Viaduct, which was torn down in 2016. The new bridge will stretch from the Arts District to Boyle Heights - spanning not only the L.A. River but the 101 freeway and 18 railroad tracks operated by five different railroad agencies. At a cost of $588 million, this is the largest bridge project in the history of Los Angeles. It is also still on schedule to be completed by the summer of 2022, Nemick said. That's about three years longer than originally planned.

Last year the Bureau of Engineering completed the South Park Historic Renovation. The highlight of this phase of the project is the restoration of the iconic Palm Walkway, which was enhanced with new walkways and decorative paving, picnic tables, benches & game tables, and planting beds with decorative steel fencing. In addition, throughout the rest of the Historic East Area, the community enjoys the new walkways & fitness path, outdoor fitness equipment, relocated basketba...ll courts with lighting, synthetic turf play area, renovated bandshell area, a new playground, new pool fencing, and new site security lighting.

Tonight the precast girders over Union Pacific Railroad will be installed for the Soto Street Bridge widening project! Last night, the four precast girders over Valley Boulevard were successfully installed. These girders were approximately 103’ long and weighed 84,000 pounds each. Councilmember Gilbert Cedillo
