Vandalism and street takeovers were not what Los Angeles had in mind when the city opened the over half a billion dollar 6th Street Bridge a little over a week ago.
Since its opening in early July, crews and police have constantly worked to maintain the 6th Street Bridge's beauty only to have it marred by more graffiti and skid marks.
The City's Office of Community Beautification said it has cleaned the deck, ramps and arches erasing the graffiti that has marred the bridge's smooth concrete, while the Los Angeles Police Department said they have tried to limit street takeovers while on patrol. However, the patrols have not been able to stop all of the street takeovers and antics with one driver stopping traffic to do donuts and a pair of people climbing one of the bridge's 10 arches.
About 15,000 people came to see the new 3,500-foot bridge, but many more continue to visit the 6th Street Bridge to admire the structure that took years to finish.
