OES Project

City of Omaha Bob Kerrey Bridge Lighting Connectivity

About the Project

The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, a remarkable 3,000-foot-long structure, serves as a vital connection between two states and is recognized as a prominent landmark in Omaha since its grand opening on September 28, 2008. OES System Solutions has
played a crucial role in the ongoing maintenance and repair of the fiber optic communication lines that govern the bridge’s sophisticated dynamic lighting system.

This advanced lighting system is designed to change colors, providing a visually stunning display that enhances the bridge’s aesthetic appeal and prominence in the Omaha skyline. The fiber optic lines are critical to this system, facilitating remote access
and control, which allows for the customization of lighting schemes to commemorate special events, holidays, and community celebrations.

By maintaining the integrity and functionality of these vital communication lines, OES System Solutions ensures that the bridge not only serves its practical purpose but also remains an iconic and adaptable feature of the city’s landscape. The ability to tailor the lighting display fosters a sense of community pride and engagement, showcasing the bridge as a dynamic symbol of connection and innovation.

Our commitment to the upkeep of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge underscores OES System Solutions’ dedication to enhancing public infrastructure and contributing to the vibrancy of the urban environment. Through our efforts, we support the bridge’s legacy as a significant architectural and cultural landmark in Omaha, ensuring it continues to captivate residents and visitors alike for years to come
