CSMLP-0006-00(018) proposes to install sea turtle friendly lighting to the Sidney Lanier Bridge located along US 17/Jekyll Island Causeway in Glynn County. The project proposes to light the towers of the bridge with sixteen 1,000-watt floods. These floods would be high-pressure sodium lights and will have a glass amber shield. These lights will remain on the entire year. To light the cables, 136 250-watt high-pressure sodium lights will be installed. These lights will only be on beginning November 1 through April 30. The Department will be responsible for assuring that the cable lighting is turned off on May 1 for the beginning of sea turtle nesting season.
