GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- If you are traveling at night, you may start noticing bridges of a different color.
“We are replacing the existing lights with color changing LED’s. They are replacing the lights right now.”
Green Bay Public Works Director Steve Grenier says the color that people may see from time to time is them testing the lights at night.
“We need to take the time at night. You simply turn the switch on to make sure all the lights turn on.”
The plan is to have the ability to illuminate the bridges in multiple color schemes. Grenier says if you are going to do the work, it’s best to make it worth while.
“It is just the next generation replacement system for what we put in back in 1998.”
During his State of the City Address, the Mayor painted a picture of what the possibilities were out there for color changing bridges.
“This is a project that we have been talking about for years. We are hoping to unveil the project sometime this summer,” Grenier said.
The idea would be to color the bridges in correlation to holidays or events that take place.
