‘2025’ arrives early in New York City as lighted NYE numerals go on display

Dec. 18 (UPI) — New York City is gearing up for its New Year’s Eve celebration as the 7-foot-tall “2025” numerals officially arrived Wednesday in Times Square.

The four lighted numbers, weighing approximately 1,200 pounds, used a total of 620 energy efficient LED bulbs.

Visitors will be able to take photos in front of the giant, lighted numbers on Broadway Plaza, between 46th and 47th Streets, through 7 a.m. EST on Monday.

After that, “2025” will move on to its final destination atop One Times Square for New Year’s midnight ball drop on Dec. 31.
