PHILADELPHIA - An iconic piece of the Philadelphia skyline has a new look. The Ben Franklin Bridge was upgraded with a colorful LED lighting system.

Officials say these new LED efficient lights will be able to do some pretty creative effects like "chasing the rainbow," essentially lights that can follow along.

This is phase four of a $200 million suspension span and rehabilitation project for the bridge, which follows things like walkway preservation, steel repairs, and more.
