'The Bay Lights' on the Bay Bridge to go dark Sunday amid efforts to save and refurbish the art installation.


The lights went dark in March of 2023 because Illuminate didn't have money to fix them.



Davis says they have a commitment for 10 of the $11 million needed to fund the project.



He's confident they'll collect the remainder.
