Governor's Island Bridge Lights?

polarisman14 · 07-13-2014, 09:51 AM

Not sure who this needs to be reported to (Marine patrol? Town of Laconia? Gilford?) but I noticed last night that all but one of the hanging lights on the underside of the Governor's Island bridge are out. Coming from Weirs toward Glendale they are all out, and going toward Weirs' the only functional light is the red light on the right hand side. Did this bridge get hit by lightning recently or something? I swear last time we went under there they were all fine!

As a side note, last night was a perfect night for fireworks and Alton Bay did an excellent job with theirs. Hopefully some of you were lucky enough to spend some time out on the water yesterday.

light outage to Marine Patrol a couple years ago. Two weeks later, lights were still out. *smh

MP said these and the Long Island bridge lights that are out are supported by a 3rd party. So they will be repaired, but I was advised that it might take a while.

I saw a couple guys working on the bridge lights today. Happy to report that the lights came on at 8:35 this evening. Sweet.

All lights on the Gov is. bridge are out at this time. Does anyone know who the 3rd party maint. crew is?

Saw a couple guys working on the lights Monday afternoon. I assume they are still working on a solution to get the lights back on. FYI.

Lights are out there as well. One light was out since last year!
