Lighting Upgrades on the Aerial Lift Bridge Complete for Now

[Duluth, MN] Work installing light-emitting diodes (LED) lights on the Aerial Lift Bridge is complete for now.  City staff has been working on calibrating and aiming the lights for the last week. This work will continue once travel restrictions have been lifted as a part of COVID-19 executive orders.    

“The City will now be able to change the color of the lights emitted on the Bridge, as a part of the upgrade to LED lights,” said Alex Jackson, City of Duluth Energy Coordinator. “We have waited a long time to upgrade the lights, and we hope to provide some joy for the community by lighting the Bridge purple for the foreseeable future.”

The City will not be taking requests for lighting the Aerial Lift Bridge at this time
