    It nice to walk around. My friends and I went to check it out and it was nice to just chill there. We parked in the neighboring areas and walked up. The view was nice and there was even fireworks we could see in the distance.

    Los Angeles has major attractions, I mean duh. But if someone comes to LA on a regular basis, like two to three times a year that person might feel like he has seen many of what LA has to offer and wants something cool but off the beaten path. To that frequent visitor I would suggest he walk across this bridge. It is sometimes shown as part of the greater Los Angeles landscape and walking through it makes you feel like you can see the wonder of the city of Angels, both close up (for a Zoom-in view) and a far away view that allows you to see the mountains further yonder. And for those locals that want to get step in that I suggest you add this to your rotation of paths. It is not all clean, it can be gritty, but it buzzes with LA's true spirit of graffiti, tall buildings that are old and new, and covered with windows, and design, that make them marvels to behold, especially when lights hit them in a certain way. Plus, as I walked I found a ramp that swirled to the bottom. I took it for extra steps. It was also cool to walk a spiral without fear of being hit by a car. I took some pictures. I think one of best murals I saw was Rhianna wearking a Kimono. I took different pictures to kind of emulate the different perspectives that the bridge offered. I went walking early on a Friday evening and there were not a lot of people there. I saw some joggers, I saw a woman walking a dog that tried to paw me, and I saw other walkers. I also saw a pokemon card that I did not picture. I also saw a dead mouse and I did take a picture but I did not want to violate Yelp rules so I did not post it. The reason why I added it was because I wanted to showcase and affirm with grossly sight that this bridge is both modern pleasure and urban crawl so expect to see the art of graffiti and also the decay common to a metropolis. However, this place is truly an LA sight that does not get much attention, except for quick shots. I was glad that I walked the bridge because an Angeleno should be able to say I have walked LA and know the land, not just Rodeo Drive or the Hollywood Walk of fame but also the others parts that tourists do not frequent. So I guess I am trying to say that this place is both a sight for wonder and excercise and walk for meditation and a closer introduction to foreigners of what LA has to offer behind display windows and controlled television shots.

    It's not exactly Brooklyn Bridge, but it's noice! Come at night for the show (if you call the takeovers that), or come in the day for a leisurely walk. I came during the day. I started my walk from the Arts District area and there are pedestrian walkways on both sides of the bridge. If you want a clearer picture of City Hall in the distance you walk on the side closest to Blue Bottle/Zinc Cafe. If you want the other side of the riverbed, then cross the street and walk up that way. There are wide, freshly paved concrete ramps that take you up to the bridge. Once there you can see the serpent like rainbow arches that repeat themselves and the criss-cross suspension poles that support it. There are high safety fences that prevent you from easily falling over the side, but not enough to save your phone if you drop it through a break in the fence. The view from the middle of the bridge provides you with a great view of the city skyline, the LA viaduct/riverbed and the train tracks. You should be able to walk the whole bridge and back in 45 minutes. The bridge is a popular spot for street racers and bikers at night and most recently, someone launching their own fireworks show from there. It hasn't been getting taken over much recently, but do know that on random nights you might run into that type of "festival" there. If you just want a nice walk and some sun, grab your favorite Blue Bottle Coffee drink and head that way in the day. I do love that it's so walkable. As of now, they keep it clean and it's a very wide sidewalk. I'll miss the old bridge that was in so many movies, but hey, time for some new movies to take advantage of this awesome spot!

    As an architectural monument, the 6th Street Bridge is a statement of modernity, especially when compared with its Art Deco neighbor, the 4th Street Bridge. I had an opportunity to walk halfway across, which satisfied my curiosity, having only driven across once before. Sure enough, there are tell-tale signs of bozos doing donuts in the roadway, but the real attraction is the feat of engineering that illustrates form and function. Additionally, the views of the LA River, surrounding neighborhoods, train tracks below, and the distant Dan Gabriel mountains were worth 15 minutes of my time. I saw a number of people running and riding bikes on the pedestrianway and designated lanes, respectively, so maybe that's another set of activities to consider. By day.

    The arches are awesome!

    Two months later and the 6th Street Bridge is still standing despite all the abuse it has taken by many racers, tons of people etc... Skid marks everywhere but it is still a cool bridge to drive over as I do daily to get to work. The downtown skyline looks amazing from this bridge. I truly hope that everyone utilizing the bridge can enjoy and appreciate it for years to come

    Came here during the re opening weekend when the bridge was open for pedestrians and vendors only. Let me just tell you the bridge I'd absolutely stunning. Plenty of room for cars, people and cyclists to get from one side to the next. We were able to walk about halfway across without any traffic. There are 2 ramps that can be walked down to get to the bottom. My dog was not to happy that she accompanied us with all the walking. The real party though was under the bridge with about 100 low riders. Unfortunately social media is going go be the death of this bridge. 2 weeks in, I drove across only to see skid marks, people parked claiming their fame trying to gain followers. The amount of people just standing around, climbing the surrounding hills just for that perfect shot was insane. No wonder they keep shutting it down. Anyways respect the bridge. But if you have a chance. Check it out.

    Nice bridge. The end. OK, it's nice when architects take the time and trouble to design something both beautiful and functional. It's also cool when governments, whether forced to or not, spend a percent or two more to add beauty to a basic structure. Too many idiots are taking unsafe selfies and doing donuts here. Stop it, fools. Just drive over the damn bridge.

    After six years of construction, it's the official grand opening of the 6th Street Viaduct in July 2022. The $588 Million Bridge spans the LA River and connects Downtown, LA to Boyle Heights. The bridge is dubbed the "Ribbon of Light" with thousands of LED lights that will light up the night sky. Come visit LA's newest Love Letter on E. 6th Street in LA, CA 90013. I visited the old, not seismically-fit bridge before it was demolished, so it's cool that they allowed pedestrians and bikers to walk along the bridge. It will officially open to cars momentarily, so today was a great opportunity to snap such really cool shots!

    BRIDGEFEST 2023! They closed thru traffic and had various vendors, music, food and classic cars. Good family fun. The bridge is awesome and architecturally pleasing to the eye. Wide open lanes.

    I finally visited the 6th Street Bridge and it was stunning. The architecture beautifully represents LA, and I loved seeing the loops on the bridge. I didn't walk through the whole bridge but it was a nice short stroll and seeing other people admiring it.

    It's a beautiful bridge with a nice walkway on both sides. You can see where cars have been making donuts, burning the rubber off their tires (most likely at night), but the crowds have definitely died down. There were only a handful of cars driving over the bridge, along with a few couples walking.

    I finally was able to walk the bridge and figure out where to park. It's so pretty at night the bridge itself is pretty lit up but the walkway not so much. You can also rent a scooter and go on the bridge with a scooter. There was a lot of teens at night at 12 AM on the bridge. There's also a lot of cops.

    The bridge

    This review is solely based on a drive by. I recently heard it had opened so decided to pack the family in the car and go for a drive. Looks great from what I saw driving. What a structure. Great job by everyone involved on this project. Hopefully the bridge doesn't get tagged up. Would be a shame. I will be back to walk or take a bike ride on it soon. Come check it out if you haven't already.

By…read more"beautiful," I don't mean pretty; it's not a pretty bridge by any stretch of the imagination, but it serves its purpose in a no-frills way, and it reminds me of the Downtown L.A. I grew up with, a sometimes scary but always fascinating place dominated by imposing physical structures of steel and concrete. The East L.A. Interchange and everything around it seemed intent on delivering millions of cars into and out of Downtown as brutally efficiently as possible, with no regard for the local neighborhoods (or the people who lived in them), the physical environment, or even the L.A. River itself. Unlike its flashy new neighbor the 6th Street Bridge and its closer and more crowded neighbor the 4th Street Bridge, the 1st Street Bridge always felt like the little-used last chance to cross the river before the busier (and confusing) Cesar Chavez Avenue (formerly Macy Street) Viaduct, not to mention Main Street much farther north. The construction of Metro's Gold Line (now the E Line) saved the bridge, in a way. Before the train tracks were laid across the span, there were five total lanes, with the center lane being one of those confusing ones that changes directions at certain times. Caltrans or L.A. Public Works or whoever couldn't seem to decide how wide to make the lanes, so they kept changing the sizes, possibly because the bridge originally had shoulders or three lanes in each direction? Now, there's one lane of motor-vehicle traffic heading westbound and two heading eastbound. All lanes are now permanent. There is a fairly well protected bike lane on the north side of the bridge, and the train tracks run in the middle. It's probably slower now, but because everyone knows it has three lanes total, fewer people probably use it. Or maybe GPS navigation has completely ruined the idea of people driving and not driving places because of their personal knowledge of situations there. In any case, driving westbound gives you the perfect view of Downtown L.A. My dad's side of the family has deep routes in Boyle Heights, so I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff, as ugly as it probably is to most non-Angelenos.

Still, it was a cool experience to check off the list and afterward we walked around The Broad, which made it a fun afternoon overall.
