I was taking a look at this music video about Los Angeles with the song being sung by Sugarcult.

Interesting song as it features numerous landmarks around L.A. but the scene which really interests me is the bridge in L.A. that passes over the river (possibly L.A. River) and over a nearby rail yard. I believe it is the bridge that is shown in the video from 2:51 to 2:57.

Does anyone who lives in L.A. or the L.A. area know that particular name of the bridge or the name of the road/highway that the passes over the bridge? I have noticed a few famous Youtubers who are based in L.A. shot some sort of scene or part of a scene for a video they were doing and it got me wondering if that bridge is famous in any certain way.
 
Never mind. I believe I found the name of this bridge. It is called the Sixth Street Viaduct or Sixth Street Bridge.

I think it's the 4th street bridge, crosses the LA river and dumps out in the warehouse district. All of 'em show up on film all the time. Paddy's Pub, owned by my current namesake, is a warehouse front just below the west end [It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia].

Nauga,
and a little Blue Bottle espresso

I see. But are all the bridges that crosses the L.A. River similar in architecture to the famous Sixth Street Viaduct?

Some have arches, some have pillars, but they all have pretty much the same view :D

Thanks nauga! I know I see this bridge or other similar bridges that crosses the L.A. river in several Youtube videos occasionally filmed in L.A. and I kept wondering is this bridge (or bridges) well-known or famous?

Yep. 4th st bridge. Just drove over it last weekend, and maybe this weekend. I go for the brewery nearby. All of those bridges are similar, and they're in a ton of car commercials.

In a land of new fake celebrities arriving by the truckload each week, who has time to remember or even notice a bridge? Particularly one in East LA.
 
The bridge is well known and famous because it is a picturesque shooting location that is easy to get a permit for very close to where the people doing the shooting are. It's not being famous that gets it in all those movies, it's being in all those movies that makes it famous.
