An early routing of Figueroa Street near Downtown Los Angeles was part of U.S. Highway 66 , today a part of the Pasadena Freeway . The famed Figueroa Street Tunnels were once a part of that same stretch of roadway. Figueroa resumes its course near the overcrossing of Sunset Boulevard over the Pasadena Freeway , just north of the " Stack " or four-level Interchange . The road passes through Downtown Los Angeles near Bunker Hill and South Park . South of the Financial District, Figueroa Street services some popular locations including Staples Center arena, the Los Angeles Convention Center, and the University Of Southern California . For the rest of its southbound journey, Figueroa Street runs parallel to the Harbor Freeway ( Interstate 110 ) in South Los Angeles . The only portion of Figueroa Street that lies outside Los Angeles city limits is in the city of Carson , but it soon reenters Los Angeles near Wilmington. The street ends at Harry Bridges Boulevard north of San Pedro . Part of the southern terminus was once part of U.S. Highway 6 before its almost total Decommissioning through California in 1964; indeed, Figueroa Street at Pacific Coast Highway was the actual western terminus of that highway, although maps show that US 6 went as far east as Atlantic Avenue in Long Beach . |
