It took a year and $2.1 million, but the light switch will be flipped back on along Philadelphia's Boathouse Row in March.
This will light up your next drive along the Schuylkill River: Philadelphia's iconic Boathouse Row will turn back on Thursday night following a yearlong $2.1 million renovation project.
Now the new lighting system has 6,400 individual LED lights and 16 million color combinations. The lights will be able to change from one color to another or be programmed in a way that makes them look like they are"dancing" along the Schuylkill River. “The light reflected on the Schuylkill River from Boathouse Row is there as we celebrate big moments as a City,”“We are incredibly grateful to the project funders, and our partners at Fairmount Park Conservancy for preserving and modernizing the historic lighting traditions that make Boathouse Row such a cherished public space for all Philadelphians.”on Thursday, March 7, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive at the Fish Ladder.
LED replacements arrived in 2005. Since then, time, weather and wildlife took their toll, leading to regular outages.
