The lights will have the ability to change colours, depending on the season and any special events being held in the Montreal.

The newly lit bridge is scheduled to be unveiled to the public on May 23, 2017, otherwise known as Montreal’s 375th anniversary.

This is sure to be one hell of a celebration.
