LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The city of Louisville is letting its lights shine.

Thursday, Mayor Craig Greenberg and Rep. Morgan McGarvey joined officials from Metro Public Works, the Louisville Metro Police Department and Louisville Downtown Partnership to highlight one of the city's newest projects.

The underpass at Main Street, between Jackson and Hancock, now includes LED lights. Officials said the lights, which can change colors like the Big Four Bridge, will be used to celebrate teams and events, as well as enhance public safety.

"It could be purple, for LouCity and the Bats. I'm confident it can be red for the Cardinals, it can be green for St. Patrick's Day," McGarvey, D-Kentucky District 3, said. "There's so many things we can do. It can provide that coolness, that allure to our city while, again, making sure it has that public safety benefit."

McGarvey was able to help secure more than $1.6 million to fund the first of three underpass lighting projects.
