The Los Angeles River was tamed years ago. The river, by nature wanting to be violent and random, doses now in a concrete bed through downtown Los Angeles. In the city's core, there are over a dozen bridges that connect Los Angeles across the river--and these bridges are architectural marvels! These bridges were built in the first decades of the 1900s, and their history continues. The largest and longest bridge, the Sixth Street Viaduct, is in the process of being replaced. Others have been upgraded and enlarged; Spring Street is underway now. Many of the bridges were designed by one man, Merrill Butler, who made each bridge different, yet matching. In this volume, the reader will explore the necessity of the bridges, how they came to be, and where they are going in the future. The time is ripe for a reexamination of these jewels of downtown Los Angeles.

Bridging Los Angeles is an important pictorial and literary gift to Los Angelenos and to all with an affinity for beautiful and iconic bridges. Published by the City of Los Angeles, Bureau of Engineering, Bridging Los Angeles serves as a tribute to the rich, connective history of the Sixth Street Viaduct and the related Los Angeles River bridges over the past 80-plus years. More than 100 pages, Bridging Los Angeles visits the history of early Los Angeles at the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 18th century, and examines the role river bridges played in the city's structure and development. Readers will walk away with a profound understanding of the Sixth Street Viaduct's history, the bridge's structural decline, and the future "ribbon of arches design" that will transform and re-ignite the Arts District and Boyle Heights communities in Los Angeles.

This report presents a literature search, findings of a survey on the current state of historic bridge rehabilitation or replacement decision making by state and local transportation agencies, and nationally applicable decision-making guidelines for historic bridges. The guidelines are intended to be used as the protocol for defining when rehabilitation of historic bridges can be considered prudent and feasible and when it is not based on engineering and environmental data and judgments. The guidelines include identification of various approaches to bringing historic bridges into conformance with current design and safety guidelines/standards, and the effect or implications of remedial action on historical significance. There are currently no such nationally applicable decision-making guidelines, but there are a variety of state and local processes and policies for managing historic bridges. Effective practices for the various processes inform the nationally applicable guidelines. The guidelines are in narrative and matrix format.
