Bridges have been laid across the Los Angeles River which will carry the latest link in the Hollywood Freeway to the general area of Vineland and Moorpark Avenues. Part of the tremendous project is moving a veritable mountain of earth---670,000 cubic yards of it---into place to form the base for the overpass at Vineland. Truck at right is moving some of it. But, the Los Angeles River bed is being used as a roadway for transporting this mountain. If a flood storm comes, the "road" may become a river again, and that would stall things.
