The $178,000 lighting project started in June 2019 and is designed to reflect the bridges of other big Florida cities.
The Ringling Bridge is saying bye-bye to boring and adding a pop of color this fall.
Sixty white lighting fixtures have been replaced by color LEDs that are more reliable and use less power, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.
Similar to those installed on downtown Tampa bridges, the lights are designed to slowly change color in a variety of preset programs.
