The black canisters underneath the cable stays on the Penobscot Narrows Bridge house the lights that illuminate the stays during the summer season. Local officials are looking into whether colored filters can be affixed to the lights.

BUCKSPORT — Viewed from the waterfront walkway on a summer night, the Penobscot Narrows Bridge presents a striking image (provided there’s no fog).
Lights attached to the bridge’s two towers give some sense of the more-than-400-foot-tall concrete columns, while so-called necklace lighting stretches from Verona Island to the Prospect shore along the railing.
Most noticeable are the lights illuminating the white cable stays that thread through each tower, standing out sharply against the dark navy night sky backdrop.
Local officials like the look, but are hoping to inject a little color into the mix by placing colored filters on the cable-stay lights at different times during the year.
Whether that happens, however, depends on a decision by the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) on whether it’s possible.
