Living Infrastructure: The New Los Angeles Sixth Street Viaduct : This film provides an inside look at the realization of the new Los Angeles Sixth Street Viaduct connecting Boyle Heights with the Downtown Arts District. Deborah Weintraub (AIA, LEED AP), Chief Deputy City Engineer at the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering, recounts the history of the 1932 Merrill Butler-designed Sixth St. Viaduct and speaks about the competition brief for the design of the new bridge and its emphasis on the inclusion of places for community participation. Weintraub also talks about the importance of having an architect in the leadership of the design team. Michael Maltzan (FAIA, NCARB Certified), Design Principal of Michael Maltzan Architecture and Architect of the Sixth St Viaduct, reflects on the bridge and its relationship to the city as a whole. Maltzan describes the design team’s intention for the “ribbon of arches” to act as a vital work of civic infrastructure. The Sixth Street design team includes Michael Maltzan Architecture (Design Architect), HNTB (Engineer and Executive Architect), Hargreaves Associates (Landscape Architect), and AC Martin (Urban Planning).

Sixth Street Viaduct Replacement : The new Sixth Street Viaduct creates a “Ribbon of Light” between downtown and East Los Angeles communities. The Sixth Street Viaduct (also known as the Sixth Street Bridge) is a 3,500-foot bridge in Los Angeles that connects historic Boyle Heights on the east side with the Downtown Arts District on the west. The bridge spans the LA River and the 101 Freeway, local surface roads as well as 18 railroad tracks operated by five different railroad agencies including Union Pacific and Metrolink. The earlier viaduct on this site, built in 1932, was closed for demolition in January 2016. The new Sixth Street Viaduct was designed by the HNTB-led team that won an international design competition decided by public vote. The viaduct accommodates vehicles and pedestrians, as did the original, and provides dedicated lanes for bikes.
