How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The steel arch bridge over the concrete Los Angeles River, connecting Downtown with Boyle Heights.

The real place

The original Sixth Street Viaduct opened in 1932, with the twin steel arches seen in the game. Its concrete was failing, so it was demolished in 2016 and replaced in 2022 by a new bridge with ten pairs of white arches, nicknamed the Ribbon of Light.

Visiting

The new bridge has wide walkways and bike lanes, so you can cross it on foot. Go at sunset for views of the Downtown skyline and the river below.
