 In the 1970s Chelsea Bridge was painted bright red and white , prompting a number of complaints from Chelsea F.C. fans that Chelsea Bridge had been painted in Arsenal colours . In 2007 it was redecorated in a less controversial red , blue and white colour scheme . Chelsea Bridge is now floodlit from beneath at night and 936 feet ( 285 m ) of light @-@ emitting diodes strung along the towers and suspension chains , intended to complement the illuminations of the nearby Albert Bridge . Although motorcyclists still meet on the bridge , following complaints from residents about the noise their racing has been curtailed .
