No; the Arroyo Seco Parkway crosses the LA River northeast of Chavez Ravine/Elysian Park. The Arroyo Seco is a completely different waterway---a tributary, actually, to the LA River.

I went through here just over the weekend. It's still in the process of being demolished, seems it's taking a while. I saw that the roadway of the bridge is now dug up, but the bridge itself is still standing.

So is this the Arroyo-Seco Parkway as well?

Yes it is. But I believe that it was in the 1970s, that Hermon Avenue was renamed Via Marisol. The neighborhood of Hermon still exists, and is given those blue Los Angeles neighborhood signs; a monument sign exists on a median as well announcing Hermon, which has an interesting history. The communities along the Arroyo all have an interesting history, in my opinion.
