At 8 p.m. on Sunday, the glimmering light display that has illuminated the Bay Bridge for the past decade will go dark.
With the flip of a switch, the Bay Area’s largest public artwork will fizzle out what has become a fixture of the San Francisco waterfront, dazzling tourists and locals alike.
“It represents the vitality of San Francisco and the Bay Area, and it’s hard now to imagine the city without it,” said Ben Davis, founder of Illuminate, the nonprofit in charge of the display. in 2012 that “I think it will reinvigorate people’s view of this iconic bridge that people live with all the time and take for granted.”
Keith Moore restrings the new, permanent installation of the Bay Lights with a work crew on the upper deck of the Bay Bridge, late Wednesday evening, October 7, 2015. The $8 million light sculpture went dark March 2015 after an initial two-year run.
