The City of Los Angeles' Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering requests Statements of Qualifications/Proposals from interested, qualified consultants to provide final design and construction support services for the Sixth Street Viaduct Replacement Project.

The Sixth Street Viaduct was constructed in 1932 and is in need of replacement. The structure is located in a highly urbanized area just east of Downtown Los Angeles and connects Downtown Los Angeles with the Boyle Heights community. The 3,500-foot-long viaduct spans several features including the Los Angeles River, Hollywood Freeway (US-101), and various railroads. The new Viaduct is expected to feature a cable-stayed main span.
