New lights on Clifton Suspension Bridge bring colour and joy.
The new LED lighting system, designed by Hoare Lea, was put to the test this weekend. The lights on the Clifton Suspension Bridge glowed all the colours of the rainbow at the Bristol Lights Festival. They changed colours in a recurring 10-minute display celebrating the seasons and rare ecology of the Avon Gorge below the bridge.
Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Clifton Suspension Bridge is an iconic symbol of Bristol.
We designed the new lighting and electrical systems as part of the overall bridge refurbishment to light the bridge more effectively and creatively.
