Tuesday night, two local bridges will glow blue and yellow in support of Ukraine after the invasion by Russia.
Gov. Mike DeWine ordered ODOT to illuminate the George. V. Voinovich Bridge with the colors of the Ukraine flag. DeWine's office said the Ashtabula County Engineer's Office will also show its support for Ukraine by having the Ashtabula Harbor Lift Bridge lit up.
“This is a way to show our support of the Ukrainian people in their struggle against Russia’s unprovoked attack on their country,” said DeWine. “I hope all Ohioans will join with the more than 42,000 Ukrainians living in our state and continue to pray for a peaceful end to this senseless Russian aggression.”
