Eyes on the Street: 6th Street PARC Construction
It’s not looking green yet, but the city of Los Angeles is making a lot of progress on construction of a new 12-acre park underneath and along the 6th Street Viaduct.
The Sixth Street PARC (Park, Arts, River & Connectivity) Project will be located under the monumental new Sixth Street Viaduct, which opened in July 2022. SBLA reported on early PARC planning underway in 2017. PARC construction kicked off in late 2022.
The ~$30 million project is mostly in Boyle Heights, east of the Los Angeles River. It also includes a smaller section in the downtown L.A. Arts District, west of the river. Construction is anticipated to be completed in 2026. Read about recent PARC project progress at the latest project newsletter.
