On the weekend of July 16-17, half of the Mulholland Drive Bridge (the bridge that spans the I-405 at the Sepulveda Pass) will be demolished and then rebuilt to accommodate plans for a wider freeway. The other half will be demolished and rebuilt next year. I thought I would snap a few pictures before the bridge, as I've known it my whole life, goes away. Unfortunately I couldn't get close to the bridge for a long shot as the embankments above the 405 were fenced off for construction equipment. A nice little history, along with some pretty cool photos of the bridge when it was brand new are at the Metro's website here. More photos below the jump.
