Lights On Tampa: Agua Luces, an initiative, led by Mayor Buckhorn, TECO and the Lights On Tampa Committee, will permanently light four landmark bridges with low energy LED lighting. The final result will be impactful and provide a signature vista for the City of Tampa by August of 2012. It is presently planned that the lighting may be programmable, with a standard default plan that is saturated in tone.
The four bridges are: Platt Street Bridge, Brorein Street Bridge, Kennedy Boulevard Bridge, and the CSX Railroad Bridge.

Chicago-based lighting artist Tracey Dear, who lit the bridges in Chicago as well as the Wrigley Building, was chosen for the installation.

Tampa Electric Company is the lead sponsor of the Agua Luces project. The installation will start in early summer 2012 and completion of the four bridges is expected midsummer. For additional information, please visit www.lightsontampa.org.
