LED light show on the new light rail bridge over the Salt River, Tempe Town Lake
I hadn't heard of the LED display on the METRO light rail bridge over the Salt River before I got my private scouting tour of Tempe.. The trains won't be running for a year, but the bridge was in a full programmed display on New Year's Eve. Imagine that the rainbow pattern is snaking away from the viewer's perspective, slowly displacing the purple light. The new bridge sits between the original U.S. Highway 89 span (southbound Mill Avenue Bridge) and the Southern Pacific trestle.
I haven't quite figured out how to work the light rail element into the Highway 89 story, nor how I want to crop this image. I wonder whether the reflected lights on the left of the bridge were partially due to the New Year's Eve events, and will be less prominent when I return. I'll report back when I find out. This is a must-visit location for my next trip to the Phoenix area.
