A book and documentary were created. The documentary was shown at a public screening in Downtown LA in January of 2016 and is posted on this website at http://www.sixthstreetviaduct.org/history. The book will be released to the public in 2019. Both focus on the history of the Sixth Street Viaduct, as well as the other historic bridges along the Los Angeles River.
