Does anyone know when the viaduct was removed? |
I mentioned the viaduct when I posted pictures of the Pico & Rimpau Loop recently - it's just visible on the left of this aerial, although I can't see the smokestack.

An article I found on
pacificelectric.org dates the demolition of the viaduct to around January 1963. It contains the following quote:
"The job had been scheduled to take 8 weeks, but dragged on for more then 14 weeks. The bridge did not give up as easily as the contractor had thought it would."
