LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CA. (THECOUNT) — The Sixth Street Bridge, which opened to much fanfare about two weeks ago, has now been closed to the public “indefinitely.”
The bridge, linking downtown Los Angeles to Boyle Heights, has been closed for an unlimited period of time after continued concerns about illegal activity and safety, the Los Angeles Police Department announced Tuesday night.
The bridge opened to the public back on July 10, just over two weeks ago, but in that brief time, it’s been the center of attention in Los Angeles for all the wrong reasons. Street takeovers, graffiti, and crashes have plagued the bridge since its reopening. The LAPD has given out 57 citations on the bridge over the last four days, according to LAPD Chief Michel Moore, reports FOX11.
“The 6th Street Bridge will be closed until further notice due to illegal activity and public safety concerns,” the LAPD posted on Twitter Tuesday night.
