Fourth Street Bridge

Play the L.A. River is a come-one-come-all project by the arts collective Project 51 -- a collective of L.A. River-loving artists, designers, planners, writers, educators -- that invites Angelenos to explore, enjoy, reclaim, and reimagine the mighty L.A. River as a grand civic space that can green and connect our communities.

CARD: Jack of Downtown

SITE: Fourth Street Bridge, 4th St + Anderson St, Los Angeles 90033

A Gothic Revival standout among the river's historic bridges. Walk between Boyle Heights and the Arts District, and enjo the lively and diverse street life.

Let's see how folks have played here:

 I would turn it into a photo spot. Latinos love their families, weddings, quinceaneras, cars, so, I would designate the bridge and river as the ultimate photo op. The backgrounds: skyline, mountains, bridge, concrete, sky, etc.
--Jesus Reyes, creative artistic director of East L.A. Rep

 This is a great place to take a break while biking between downtown and Boyle Heights and take in the great view of the river and its bridges. It's always the most fun place to people watch during CicLAvia, when many cyclists seem to have the urban river experience for the first time.
--Yosuke K., editor of KCET Departures
