U.S. 59 bridge lights shine again after donations
By Collin Eaton, Houston Chronicle
The most colorful stretch of U.S. 59 lit up again on Saturday evening, more than a week after Reliant Energy had to cut power to the lights that bathed the highway’s arched bridges in purple, green and blue for almost a year.
The Montrose Management District, entangled in a legal dispute with local residents, couldn’t pay electricity bills for the lights for three months while under temporary court order. Reliant shut off the lights on Jan. 19.
