United States Latest News,United States Headlines

The Bay Bridge is set to shine again, starting in 2025, after a fundraising campaign by the nonprofit arts organization Illuminate brought in nearly $11 million to restart the art project.

The revamping of the Bay Lights public art installation, dubbed The Bay Lights 360, will see both sides of the bridge's western span illuminated, with more than double the number of LED lights compared to the original iteration. That will make the lights visible from all angles of the bridge, including from Treasure Island, Yerba Buena Island, Oakland, Berkeley and Emeryville.

'There's been a hole in San Francisco since we turned off the lights last March. We are thrilled to announce their return.' Weather conditions including San Francisco Bay's salty air along with bridge vibrations that caused lights to move forced the project to darken last year. The project, designed by artist Leo Villareal, was originally installed to mark the 75th anniversary of the Bay Bridge's opening and the Port of San Francisco's 150th anniversary.
