Golden Gate

[xBrialesana]

I couldn't find any info here or elsewhere, but does anyone know the progress on the nets/construction on the Golden Gate Bridge? That's always been my method and when they passed the law to take my bridge away from me it broke my heart.. besides the fact it's beautiful in its own right and should be left alone.

This is recent:

"Anticipated for 2021, the safety barrier will now be completed in 2023, officials with the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District said Wednesday."

Note: "completed"
I'd imagine that doesn't mean (large?) portions couldn't be installed before it's fully completed.

The pix make it appear that some has been done, but those are probably artist renditions. We need someone bay side to report directly.

Seems the entire net may be being constructed off-site in Richmond.

"Now the contractor is pulling double shifts, closing three lanes of traffic five nights a week, while 50 workers lift steel and other equipment over the side of the bridge. During the day, another 50 workers toil on the platforms. Five of them jut out from beneath the bridge deck, and AECOM is building a sixth, Mulligan said."

Sure sounds ongoing....

How many billions are being wasted on this?

How many billions are being wasted on this?

EXACTLY!!! The people in the city aren't happy in their own right because it's costing them so much in taxes.

If i can do the 5 hour drive up there very soon to scope things out, I will keep things updated. <3 And if the time seems right, more might come.. like I said, will keep updated. Must be done before this nonsense gets completed.

Girl this is my method too T_T I hope by the time I ctb the barrier will either be incomplete/not started... They say it will deter suicidal people from commiting, but really they just don't want the association of death with this landmark. People will still kill themselves, they will just end up using another method! I chose the bridge just so loved ones won't have to find my body staining the room. Geez
