After ten years, the Bay Bridge lights display has been turned off, and it’s unknown when, or if, the lights will return.
lights display has been turned off, and it’s unknown when, or if, the lights will return.
With the push of a button, the Bay Bridge went dark Sunday night. The "Bay Lights" – an art installation that twinkled on the western span for ten years – turned off. The lights will now be taken down. "We have $6 million pledged and that means all that stands between where we are when we go dark and this project coming back is four one-million-dollar gifts," said Davis.
Pete Sittnick, the managing partner at the restaurants Waterbar and Epic Steak said just about everybody who made reservations Sunday wanted a view of the bridge.
