Coronado Bridge lighting art project to begin week of testing

The Port of San Diego conducted an over-water lighting field test as part of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge Lighting Project — the next step in a process to artistically illuminate a portion of the 2.1-mile bridge span from the Coronado shoreline to Harbor Drive in San Diego.

To allow the testing, 170 computer-programmable color LED luminaires and controllers were being temporarily installed on three of the tallest columns near the center of the bridge span.

Each night during the live technical testing, lighting in different colors, combinations, sequencing and arrangements will be intermittently visible on the three columns.
