Street Light Pilot Project
A project for LED streetlights
In cooperation with Dominion Virginia Power, the City of Newport News, through the Department of Engineering, is participating in an LED (Light Emitting Diodes) Street Light Pilot Project to study the possibility of utilizing LED lights throughout the City. LEDs use less power than typical street lights (60% less) and have reduced carbon emissions and maintenance costs as well as enhanced lighting quality. For the pilot project, 10 LED streetlights were installed recently (week before last) on Beech Road between Main Street and Hemlock Road. Engineering is seeking feedback from citizens and drivers regarding the new LED lights. They can send comments to Engineering or call (757) 926-8611.
