Letter: Sakonnet Bridge lights are a joy to behold

To the editor:

I’d like to thank whoever came up with the idea for the lighting of the new Sakonnet Bridge. 

It’s been my pleasure to cross the bridge numerous times every week and to be greeted by the beautiful blue every day and then to be surprised by colorful lights for special occasions. Occasions such as the Fourth of July, the holidays just past and this past weekend. 

The beautiful reds, greens, golds and other colors are a joy to behold. Just admiring the colors makes you feel like you went to leisurely cross the bridge in order to enjoy the mood. 

Actually, everything about this bridge makes me proud to be a Rhode Islander. But first and foremost is the beautiful lighting.
