A historic bridge in downtown Los Angeles built nearly a century ago is slated for $422 million replacement project, city officials announced Friday.
Mayor Eric Garcetti, Councilmember Jose Huizar, and world-renowned architect and bridge designer Michael Matzlan were on hand at 600 Mesquit Street to break ground on the Sixth Street Viaduct replacement project, which is being billed by officials as the largest federally funded bridge in the nation and one of the largest public works projects ever undertaken by the city.
