Monona Terrace Tunnel Lighting Project

Project Overview

The City is planning on replacing the lighting system that currently provides lighting to vehicle traffic on John Nolen Dr. for the Monona Terrace Tunnel with non-corrosive materials and light emitting diode (LED) fixtures. In addition to tunnel lighting and controls, potential infrastructure for aesthetic lighting will be evaluated for future installation.
