There's a ton of architecture on the east side of downtown LA that's shows up in movies and TV — bridges / viaducts, concrete-lined rivers, industrial areas, etc. The 6th Street bridge is one that everyone's seen, even if they have no idea of it, and the video in this article gives but a small sampling that will have you going, "Oh, yeah, that place there!"
The 1930s bridge apparently has significant structural issues and is being torn down, to be replaced by 2019. Though the new bridge / viaduct looks nice (and draws on the architecture of the old one as an inspiration), it's still a loss for movie-making.
