The lighting concept for the John J. Audubon Bridge consists of two simple components, creating a lighting composition that will reveal the structure and beauty of the bridge in way that is “in harmony with nature.”  As motorists and passengers move across the bridge and through the cable arrays, they will see each cable as a changing form through the juxtaposition of light and shadow. At the pylon, uplighting will reveal the portal openings with a soft, dim light, welcoming drivers to pass through these entries to the opposite side of the bridge, while protecting the night sky.  Together, these lighting elements will create a connection between the communities on either side of the river and will create an image of gentle power and beauty that will become part of the local landscape.
