Los Angeles is racing to fix one of its landmarks, the Sixth Street Bridge, before the 2028 Olympics come to town.
The bridge has been left in the dark for a while after a series of copper wire thefts.
The more than $5 million dollar plan also includes the park project as well as hardening equipment to prevent future thefts by installing security cameras ahead of the 2028 Olympics.
Since reopening in 2022, the bridge has been dealing with a number of problems including fireworks, illegal car meetups, street takeovers, graffiti and copper wire thefts.
The copper wire thefts have also impacted nearby neighborhoods, leaving the lights out in areas like El Sereno and Lincoln Heights.
Last year, city leaders and the Los Angeles Police Department created a task force to crack down on copper wire thefts.
Now, the city is taking an extra step by hiring engineers from Tetra Tech to help restore wiring and lighting along the roadway, ramps, arches and stairways.
Councilmember Ysabel Jurado also gave $1 million dollars in discretionary funds that will go toward the street light repair crew.
