Wow! Look at the pretty bridge.

Seriously? Is that all there is, illuminating wires? Edison patented
that in 1879. If that's cool today, I'm so far behind (or ahead) it's
pathetic.

It was done for the opening ceremony. Hardly a serious crime.

A few UK bridges are illuminated some are quite pretty and inside the
light pollution of a major city make no difference to the skies.

The colours on this move along the parabolic support arc. It is notable
because it tilts sideways to let ships pass under it. Open in daylight

Even if it were all the time, that's fine. It would be sad if cities
stopped illuminating their architecture at night.
