Russ Nelson brought the idea of lighting up the bridge to the Zanesville-Muskingum County Chamber of Commerce in November of 2017. Almost two years later the lights began illuminating the waters under the Sixth Street Bridge and Y Bridge in Downtown Zanesville. The lights are programmed to change colors to coincide with holidays. A huge thank you to Linden Lighting of Zanesville, Ohio for making this vision come to light!

During the holidays, Nelson’s Seasonal Decor installs fresh-cut greens and artificial garland in baskets on the bridge lampposts. Approximately 250 lights are placed in each basket on each of the seventeen poles.
