The Sixth Street Viaduct Replacement Project

Bridging Los Angeles communities for generations to come

Arial view of City of Los Angeles and Sixth Street Viaduct by day

The $588 million viaduct is the largest bridge project in the history of Los Angeles and was built to replace the original 3,500-ft-long, 46-ft-wide viaduct constructed in 1932 that served as a backdrop for dozens of movies, TV shows, music videos and video games but was found to be seismically deficient and irreparable. This historic project provides exceptional pedestrian and bicycle access, and safer traffic and goods movement. As the program manager  for the past 15 years, 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 was the longest-serving consultant on the project.

鈥淎fter more than six years of being closed, we are thrilled to reopen the newly built Sixth Street Viaduct and usher in a new era for Los Angeles. Once again, this bridge will take its place as one of Los Angeles鈥 most iconic landmarks connecting the Arts District and Boyle Heights. This celebration will be a tribute to the years of dedicated work that went into creating one of the most inspiring public works projects in our city鈥檚 history.鈥

The Bureau of Engineering partnered and engaged extensively with the community in the design of the bridge, known as the 鈥淩ibbon of Light鈥, which was selected through an international design contest. Funded by the Federal Highway Transportation Administration, the California Department of Transportation and the City of Los Angeles, this landmark projectwas the first time the city to usede a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) delivery approach.  This innovative approach brings the Contractor on board during the design phase to provide input  and optimize the design.  网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 wrote a request for proposal (RFP) for the CM/GC procurement, assisted in the oversight of the designer and CM/GC collaboration and prepared independent construction cost estimates to validate the Contractor鈥檚 pricing.

Other support provided by our team included constructability reviews, value engineering, railroad and utility coordination, , public outreach, environmental mitigation monitoring, right-of-way acquisition services and third-party coordination.
