Fox News
Nearly the entirety of the Golden Gate Bridge now has a "suicide deterrent system" of a stainless-steel net on its side. The net is 20 feet below the sidewalk.
Now, stainless-steel nets line the 1.7 mile bridge, marking the completion of a five-year project to improve safety on the bridge. "I’m so grateful that a small group of like-minded people never gave up on something so important." Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
As of Jan. 1, "The suicide deterrent system … has been installed on the east and west sides of approximately 95% of the bridge," said the Golden Gate Bridge's website.
