Twinkle, Twinkle, Giant Span: 25K Controllable LEDs to Illuminate SF's Bay Bridge Tuesday

The Bay Bridge—which connects San Francisco to Oakland—doesn't get much love. It's longer, stronger, and carries more traffic than the Golden Gate, and yet by comparison to its International Orange-painted sibling, it's basically invisible. But this spring the Bay Bridge will get its moment to shine, courtesy of more than 25,000 LEDs strung along the vertical wires connecting the deck of the 1.8-mile-long western span to the suspension cables hanging from its towers.
