Two projects have enhanced the appeal of this much loved suspension bridge – affectionately known as the Chain Bridge – since it first opened in the middle of the 19th century. The first was the addition in 1852 of a pair of lions – smaller reproductions of those in London's Trafalgar Square – at either end of the bridge. The second was the installation of a lighting system based on GE CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) lamps that highlights the bridge's unique architecture and decorative detail that was previously not visible at night.
