MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Light the Hoan made a special announcement this 414 Day. They say the installation of the east side, harbor-facing lights on the Hoan Bridge will officially begin this month.

When the project is completed, the bridge will be fully illuminated.  

Light the Hoan Executive Director Erika Smith says the goal is to complete the project by June, in time for the city's summer festivals.

“The Hoan Bridge is more than a piece of infrastructure - it’s Milwaukee’s bridge,” Smith continued. “Over the past five years, it has become a symbol of our city’s resilience, progress, and creativity. This next phase of lighting is something we can all celebrate — as it will now be visible from Milwaukee’s south lakefront and even to those flying into the city.”

Light the Hoan says businesses and organizations can still be part of the project through sponsorship, and individuals can contribute by donating or dedicating a bulb.

The official lighting ceremony date has not yet been announced.
