New lighting has been installed on the Matkin Trail Bridge over Highway 1 to increase safety for nighttime users.
Steve Boggs of Boggs Electrical installed the new LED light ropes on the arc of the trail bridge Tuesday.
?They showcase the bridge and the entryway more elegantly,? said Jefferson County Trails Council Chairman Ron Blair.
