Electrical circuits feeding the arch lights have been off the past few weeks while the change was made.
The new lights will switch on Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT. The public is invited to attend.
The lights on the Canadian side will be red and white. On the U.S. side they’ll be red, white and blue.
International Bridge Authority General Manager Phil Becker says the new system will improve the bridge’s appearance while reducing energy usage and maintenance costs.
