LED Lamps Stolen, Bridge Doesn't Light the Night

In just a month since the opening of the High Trestle Bridge, 12 of the bridge's LED lights have been stolen. Boone County Conservation Board director Andy Hockenson tells KCCI it looks like someone pried the fixtures off the bridge. Hockenson said they are looking at options to protect the lighting by adding a cage around each fixture. The conservation board is also considering other security features to prevent future vandalism. Right now the bridge, which is 13 storeis above the river, is no longer lit up at night due to the damage.
