NEW YORK (AP) — It will be lights out on part of the Statue of Liberty as work is done on the monument's electrical system.
The National Park Service says the lights that illuminate the exterior of the statue were scheduled to be turned off late this week but the lights on the statue's torch, crown and pedestal would still be on.
The park service says the exterior lighting shutdown was necessary to complete work on Liberty Island's electrical system. The work is being conducted at night to avoid daytime electrical outages that would affect visitors.
