Key West, Fla. — Things are a little more colorful in Key West after workers installed four new permanent rainbow crosswalks.
The colorful task was completed Monday at the intersection of Duval and Petronia streets which is known as the heart of the island’s LGBTQ entertainment district.

All six colors of the rainbow flag are represented in the updated version of what has become a popular photo stop.
The original rainbow intersection became a landmark back in 2015, but a repaving project necessitated the updated, brighter look.
