LA’s Sixth Street Viaduct closed due to fast and furious driving stunts

Los Angeles’ Sixth Street Viaduct has been forced to close multiple times due to daredevil drivers since opening on July 10.

The new $588 million bridge has been the site of numerous stunts, including street racing and “street takeovers” — flash mobs involving crowds and cars flocking to a location to drive dangerously.

The bridge’s arches, illuminated by LED lights, have been used by daredevil pedestrians and skateboarders for risky maneuvers.

The illegal activity has resulted in crashes, including a three-car incident from the night of July 18.
