Note
The 1,152 foot-long Glendale-Hyperion Viaduct, completed in June, 1927, was constructed as a means of relieving congestion in a heavily-trafficked area. Popularly known as the Hyperion Bridge, it connected the newly-opened Hyperion Avenue in the Griffith Park area of the Hollywood community with Glendale Boulevard in the Atwater area of the Northeast Los Angeles community, and spanned the Los Angeles River. The viaduct was also known as the "Victory Memorial Bridge" in honor of the men who served in World War I.
