New LED lights will be coming to illuminate the Acosta Bridge

You may remember the old blue neon lights that used to brighten up the Acosta Bridge. Those lights were installed in 1999 with the expansion of theSkyway across the St. Johns River. But the blue lights haven't illuminated the bridge since 2015 when workers found problems with the wiring of the lights. The new color-changing LED system costs $2.6 million and will be installed by Miller Electric, said John Finotti spokesman for JTA. He said the new system will allow for changing the lights' colors for special events like holidays and Jaguars games (Photo: Gregory Urbano)
