Photo: Los Angeles City Engineering Notebook V. 28-209, 1928. Fletcher Viaduct from the corner of Glendale Blvd. and Fletcher Drive. Currently, Astro Restaurant would be in the lot behind the car on the right; the 76 Station and a church on the left; Riverside Drive and the 5 Freeway would be beyond the viaduct.

The Pacific Electric Fletcher Viaduct's center section was replaced with steel to accommodate the paving of Fletcher Drive in 1927.
