The Morrison Bridge will be illuminated in red, white and blue lights tonight in honor of Election Day. The patriotic lighting scheme is brought to you by Multnomah County and the Willamette Light Brigade, a private nonprofit organization that raised funds for the architectural LED lights that were added to the bridge in 2007.
The colored lights shine on the river piers on both sides of the bridge. Anyone can rent a special lighting display using the Morrison Bridge architectural lights. For information, visit www.lightthebridges.org. The Light Brigade is currently working on a project to add architectural lights to the Burnside Bridge. Photos provided by Susan Hagen.
