Graffiti on Gold Line Bridge

Metro says it will remove the graffiti and find a way to deter future vandals.

It has been less than four months since construction workers put the finishing touches on the Gold Line Bridge, and vandals have already defaced one of the bridge's distinctive abutments with graffiti.

The graffiti is visible to motorists traversing east on the 210 Freeway.

Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority spokesman Rodrigo Gonzalez says the agency became aware of the problem Monday.

"The Construction Authority is not only going to clean it up, but we're also trying to come up with solutions to prevent [future vandalism]," Gonzalez said.

It is unclear how much it will cost Metro to repair the damaged abutment.
