<p>Spanning 3,500 feet in length, the new $588 million <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/2145/michael-maltzan-architecture" target="_blank">Michael Maltzan</a>-designed <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/706424/sixth-street-viaduct" target="_blank">Sixth Street Viaduct</a> reestablishes a vital connection between Downtown LA, the Arts District, and the historic Boyle Heights neighborhood by expanding the focus of transportation from merely car traffic to also prioritize pedestrians and cyclists, offering wide sidewalks as well as 10-foot-wide Class IV protected bike lanes along each side of the viaduct. The opening of the ambitious PARC project (Park, Arts, River, and Connectivity), overseen by landscape architects <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/150308331/hargreaves-jones-landscape-architecture-d-p-c" target="_blank">Hargreaves Jones</a>, is anticipated for 2024-25.</p>

The new structure’s distinguishing feature is its LED-lit arches that reference the iconic metal arches of its predecessor. In addition to restoring an important connection between the Arts District on the west side of the <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/154329/los-angeles-river" target="_blank">Los Angeles River</a> and the historic neighborhood of <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/478285/boyle-heights" target="_blank">Boyle Heights</a> on the east side, the bridge provides new sidewalks and protected bike lanes. </p>
