Like it? Bay News 9 reports the testing phase has begun of “the Bridge Lighting Project.” It looks nice, but there’s also another perk: safety. They say the 1800 LED lights will change colors (there are 8 themes) and it’ll light up the darker spots along the bridge making it hopefully safer for drivers. They say it’s a $15 million for the project is coming from tolls.
The Sunshine Skyway is about to get a lot more colorful! Work is expected to be complete this fall, FDOT says. https://t.co/6WwR68Mfh0 pic.twitter.com/mtSJEbCbb7
