LA County Supervisor Yaroslavsky's blog warns that the Sunset Blvd. bridge over the 405 will be undergoing demolition next week. You are best advised to use a different route to UCLA from the Westside. The blog contains a history of the bridge, built in 1955, together with early photos such as the one on the left that shows hardly any traffic. The full story is at:

As for the photo on the right, it is also a bridge, albeit one that is hidden by landfill. At one time a ravine ran through the UCLA campus and a bridge led over the ravine to Royce. When the area around the bridge was filled in, the bridge just appeared (and still appears) to be an ordinary pathway. However, a sign warns heavy trucks of the bridge's weight limits. Nobody is talking about demolishing it.
