Sunshine Skyway Bridge debuts colorful new LED lights

The promise of a colorfully-lit Sunshine Skyway Bridge became a reality this week, much to the delight of photographers, boaters, and drivers around the Bay Area.
The Florida Department of Transportation installed color-change LED lights on 1.7 miles of Tampa Bay's iconic bridge.
A total of 1,824 high-efficiency fixtures now illuminate the main span of the bridge, as well as the columns underneath, fading down to the waterline.

i have a fear of high bridges I would only drive over it if the road was in a tube. but I actually like the LED's

[@Elevatorelectricgate]

They need to do this with the George Washington Bridge.

[@adamxcix1620]

They can rig the bridge with lights but cant erect a net?

[@derekstaroba]

Just $8223.68 per LED light. (Skyway opened 1987 that's 33 years ago but obviously, whos counting here anyway)

It’s not lit up anymore? I am here now.

[@janetpuig5751]

build a fence to prevent people from jumping, and they’ve done that, but not on a specific side

[@fg146]

I think that's worth the millions.

Listening to that voice is like jabbing ice picks into my ears.

[@Europa_451]

Which voice

[@jamesmcinnis208]

​@@Europa_451 David Attenborough.

@@jamesmcinnis208 Me personally I think his voice is okay, but I respect your opinion

[@jamesmcinnis208]

@@Europa_451 I was being facetious. David Attenborough has a famously pleasant voice. The newscaster narrating the video about the bridge (this video) sounds awful to me.

0:00 "For more than 40 years".
The current bridge was opened in late 80s, so it has been a little more than 30 years. Original bridge that was demolished when current one opened was built/opened in 1950s, which is more than 60 years.

[@Europa_451]

It's cool but I feel like they're wasting money

[@iForce08]

Yea spend money on fancy lights instead of a tall fence to keep people from jumping 🙄 🤦‍♂️

[@gabrieladoglover7607]

They actually just added a fence

[@jamesmcinnis208]

​@gabrieladoglover7607 "actually"

[@orion7507]

You're not very bright, are you? That doesn't stop you from letting everyone know, though.
