New York City is about to get a whole lot brighter! Later this month, seven bridges operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will transform into a glowing, rainbow spectacle. The bridges will even be synced to each other, and choreographed to music. According to Governor Cuomo, this will actually save money because of the energetic longevity and efficiency of LED lights compared to regular lights.
Cuomo explained at a press conference earlier this week, “We’re illuminating all the bridges in New York City with different-colored lights, and the bridges can then be coordinated and choreographed to music…. So literally, you’ll have bridges all across the New York City area that are choreographed. Nothing like this have been done on the planet… Imagine New York Harbor, with all those bridges, and all of it choreographed.”
He continues, “You have some cities that have done bridge lighting projects, and a single bridge lighting project has turned out to be a great tourist attraction…. People come just to see one bridge lit. Imagine New York Harbor, with all those bridges, and all of it choreographed.”
We’re definitely looking forward to seeing what this is all about!
