Los Angeles County, California Bridges: Interstate 710/91 Interchange across the Los Angeles River

August 1999 (33.8763 Degrees, -118.1898 Degrees) Los Angeles River Bridges

Just downstream from the Atlantic Boulevard Bridge is an interchange that includes about eight bridges (N710 On-Ramp 53-2145S, Route 91 On-Ramp 53 2144K, S710-E91 Connector 53 2142F, etc.) across the Los Angeles River. Most of the bridges were built in 1971 and they're all steel girder or precast girder bridges.

The I-710 (Long Beach) Freeway follows the Los Angeles River until it makes a bend at Vernon. The city of Los Angeles has been making plans to put the I-710 underground or do something to help speed it north to Glendale and Pasadena. Unfortunately, all of these ideas are very expensive and complicated by all the faults running through the Los Angeles Basin.
