The tearing down of the southern side of the Mulholland Drive Bridge as seen from the media viewing site about 8:40 this morning. As of mid-morning, all work is on schedule.

The latest word from Metro’s operations staff is that ridership so far this morning is light on the Orange Line and the Red and Purple Line subway, as well as on the bus system. All extra service has been deployed to the Westside and construction work is on schedule.

Here is our post from yesterday explaining the many transit options for getting around this weekend.
