Learn about the bridge's dramatic lighting system

In 2009, the Peace Bridge underwent an expansive renovation of its lighting capabilities, replacing traditional fixtures with innovative Light Emitting Diode (LED) units.
 



This new state-of-the-art LED system is controlled by sophisticated computer software that possesses unlimited color options, timings and themes, allowing the Peace Bridge to offer unique and captivating lighting shows at the push of a button. Such lighting options include special color themes for various American and Canadian national holidays, Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres home games, as well as specific dates and celebrations like Halloween.

The system, which operates daily from sunset until sunrise, also requires less physical maintenance and provides improved security lighting for the entire border crossing.

In 2020 the feature lighting system was upgraded with new technology and included adding additional lighting features to various areas of the bridge.
