A First Look: The Bay Lights’ installation crews are hard at work.

Workers have begun installing 50,000 new custom-engineered LED lights on the Western span of the Bay Bridge. You can expect to see testing of the new strands starting early in the new year. We anticipate celebrating the return of The Bay Lights to our skyline later this winter. Please stay tuned for the date announcement. We hope you will join us on the waterfront!
