Bridges
of LA

For decades, Kevin Break has returned to the crossings of the Los Angeles River and the elevated arteries around downtown. These are not only engineering works. They are stages for weather, traffic, industry, civic change and the stubborn romance of the city after dark.

The archive includes the Sixth Street Viaduct before and during demolition, the Broadway and Spring Street bridges in storms, Riverside Drive construction, the Main and Macy Street crossings, and overlooked structures beneath the freeways.
