I-35 bridges outfitted with color-changing lights

From staff reports
March 11th. 2015

Work crews Wednesday were putting the finishing touches on new decorative LED lights that will illuminate the access road bridges along Interstate 35 over the Brazos River.

Baylor University paid $500,000 for the lighting system that can be programmed to glow in different colors — such as green and gold when the Bears are playing next door at McLane Stadium.

A committee with officials from Baylor, the city of Waco and the Texas Department of Transportation will be in control of bridge lighting for holidays, games and other special events.

The lighting system provides indirect lighting for the towers, cables and decks of the bridges, as well as lighting beneath on the Riverwalk. The lighting can be programmed for almost any color combination, but on most nights it will slowly phase from white to blue to yellow about every five minutes, project officials have said.
