This bridge can be seen (admittedly imperfectly) from the 710 Freeway, but the best place to see it is from the LA bike path, which we would not recommend taking in this rough and industrial part of town. There is no place to park to photograph this bridge, as the area between the freeway and the river is occupied by a gated mobile home park.

For this reason, we will accept a drive-by photograph as proof of visit.
