Amid Millions Of Dollars Worth Of Improvements, DIA Light Display Is Broken

DENVER (CBS4) - The Denver International Airport turned off the 1,000-foot-long stretch of LED poles after technical problems caused them to go dark. The $14 million display was built by Panasonic in 2017.

The lights will turn on and off as the company test the display to figure out a remedy. It's not clear how long that will take.
