This is going to be iconic. People around the state are going to be talking about this; people around the Midwest are going to be talking about this. It’s just going to be one more thing to draw people to Peoria as we transform ourselves into the coming years. Jim ArdisMayor, City of Peoria, IL
Electrical engineering included complete detailed plans and technical specifications, including luminaire and mounting details for the lights, wiring diagrams and lighting controller cabinets. The exterior lighting includes 502 lighting fixtures that will illuminate the bridge structure.
The superstructure will be lit in white, while the deck and pillars can display a variety of color options.
