As a series of dangerous speed maneuvers continue on the new 6th Street Viaduct Bridge in downtown Los Angeles, speed bumps are being installed and Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore is urging the public to remain vigilant to help an already overwhelmed police force.

Tuesday night LAPD shut down the bridge again in an effort to prevent crime. The closure will last "until further notice" due to illegal activity, LAPD tweeted.

"We're not going to arrest our way out of this,"
Moore said Tuesday at a police commission meeting. "Despite the hundreds of impounds and citations and arrests, we still see the proliferation of this. So I'm asking for the public's help and support and assistance."

Speed bumps are being installed as city officials hope to mitigate the crimes. A center median and fencing to discourage people from scaling the archways could also be installed soon on a temporary basis, according to Moore.

The $588 million bridge, which opened to the public on July 10 and connects Boyle Heights and the downtown Arts District, was closed Sunday night for the third night in a row for what the Los Angeles Police Department characterized as "illegal activity."
