Light The Hoan

Milwaukee’s Hoan Bridge; illuminating the city at night. Gateway from Lake Michigan to the city. One of Milwaukee’s 7 Wonders.

A bright and bold reminder: slow down, save lives.

The Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee glowed construction barrel-orange last night in honor of National Work Zone Awareness Week.

Special thanks to @LightTheHoan for helping us make this happen!

Tonight I’m serving climate data vibes 🔵⚪🔴 for Show Your Stripes Day.

From blues to reds, my lights are basically a heat map.

Fun fact (or not-so-fun?): the last 10 years were the hottest ever recorded. Everyday, not just today, is important to continue to raise awareness!

@natevomhof Thanks for celebrating with us! 🫶

The east side is lit! #lightthehoan

Imagine what this view will be from the Lake Michigan side! Fine work, everyone. Onward!
