Pic of the Day: Tower Blocking Freeway View of Mount Diablo

The structure at the Highway 24 and I-680 interchange slices the view of Mount Diablo for drivers on the freeway. What is it? Where did it come from? And why aren't we looking at the road?

This photo submitted by a Lamorinda Patch user shows a new tower on the side of Highway 24 at the Interstate 680 interchange.

"It's obstructing what used to be a stunning view of Mt. Diablo," said a driver in an email to Walnut Creek Patch. Commenters on the Walnut Creek Patch Facebook page said that "it's a terrible eyesore" and "hideous." But one commenter pointed out — "Shouldn't drivers be watching the road not Mt. Diablo?"

So, what is it and where did it come from? Patch will keep you updated when we get some answers.
