The Big Four Bridge and Big Four Station Park will turn purple and gold starting Friday to honor Wayne Estopinal, the architect and philanthropist who was killed last week in a Southern Indiana plane crash.

The city of Jeffersonville announced the lights at Big Four Station Park will become purple and gold from Friday through Monday.

Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore contacted the Louisville Waterfront Development Corporation, which controls the Big Four Bridge, to have the lights on the bridge also turn purple and gold during the same period.
