Use As A Film Setting
The spans are a recent favorite of movie production crews. The HOV lanes are frequently used for filming, as they are not heavily used, and are separated from normal traffic by barrier walls. Both spans were briefly closed on April 9, 2006 to allow filming with stunts and pyrotechnics for the Denzel Washington film Déjà Vu, released in the US on November 22, 2006. The spans also served as the anchor for the background in most outdoor scenes in the film A Love Song for Bobby Long.
