WHY LIGHT PORTLAND’S BRIDGES?

• To make the Willamette River and its bridges the visual focus of our city by night as well as by day.
• To visually enhance the historic and remarkable features of the bridges.
• To highlight and honor these structures which connect the mutually-dependent east
  and west neighborhoods of Portland.
• To show in a bright and cheerful manner the civic pride felt by those who live and work here.
• To strengthen positive impressions of our city gained by visitors, business and tourist alike.
• To add a dimension of delight to river crossings.
