Bay Bridge: Cutting edge LED lights create unique night landscape

In daylight, the new Bay Bridge's iconic white tower and suspension cables gleam in a panoramic landscape saturated with deep hues of earth, water and sky. But for nocturnal motorists, the span's tens of thousands of icy white LED lights strung on the suspender rope canopy, looping catenary cable and soaring tower is a journey onto a rocket launchpad magically suspended in blackness. Engineers and architects created the outer space sensation with a combination of light, dark and steel.
