Shirtless man Scales 6th Street Bridge, Snarling Traffic During Friday Morning Commute threatening to jump A man climbed to the top of one of the arches of the 6th Street Bridge in Downtown Los Angeles Friday morning, prompting a major response from LAPD and the Los Angeles Fire Department and creating significant traffic problems in the area. Police responded around 8 a.m., and the man remained on top of the bridge for hours as authorities worked to safely bring him down. The 6th Street Bridge, which connects Downtown LA and Boyle Heights and crosses over the 101 and 5 freeways, was closed during the incident, contributing to heavy traffic backups around the freeways and surrounding Downtown streets. Drivers heading through the area should expect delays and consider alternate routes until the situation is cleared.
