A worker places traffic cones on the road as the Mulholland bridge is closed over the 405

A worker places traffic cones on the road as the Mulholland bridge is closed over the 405 freeway in Los Angeles, California July 15, 2011. A 10-mile (16-km) stretch of the 405 freeway will be closed in both directions from July 15-18 for the partial demolition of the Mulholland bridge. The unprecedented 53-hour shutdown, expected to delay motorists for hours on alternate routes with ripple effects on about a dozen other major highways, will allow crews to demolish the bridge as part of a $1 billion freeway-widening project.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jason Redmond, a worker can be seen diligently placing traffic cones on the road as the iconic Mulholland bridge looms in the background. The image was taken on July 15,2011, during an unprecedented 53-hour closure of a 10-mile stretch of the bustling 405 freeway in Los Angeles, California. The closure was necessary for the partial demolition of the Mulholland bridge as part of an ambitious $1 billion freeway-widening project. This monumental undertaking caused significant disruptions to motorists who were forced to navigate alternate routes and endure hours-long delays. The ripple effects extended beyond just this major highway, impacting about a dozen other important arteries throughout the city. As night falls upon this urban landscape, we witness how one dedicated worker takes center stage amidst all chaos and construction. Silhouetted against a backdrop of vibrant lights and traffic signals, their presence symbolizes determination and resilience in face of adversity. This striking photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a powerful reminder of human ingenuity at work. It showcases both the dangerous nature of highway construction and creative use of barriers to ensure safety for all involved. Through Redmond's lens, we are transported into this dynamic scene where every detail - from unrecognizable writing on signs to real people caught up in their daily routines - tells its own story within this grand narrative unfolding before our eyes.
