The new 6th Street Bridge in Los Angeles opened up on Sunday, July 10th, 2022. The bridge, with a $588 million dollar price tag, had a soft-opening without any vehicular traffic. Just pedestrians, bicyclists, skateboarders and others wanting to take in the spectacle of L.A.’s newest bridge. It was almost idyllic: the bridge opened up to people, not cars or the movement of commodities over the Los Angeles River.
