A big step was taken to save lives at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Local officials gathered at the span for a ceremony at the bridge Thursday to mark the beginning of work to line both sides of the bridge with a suicide barrier.
“Where nets have been erected they’ve been incredibly effective. Nets have been installed on many bridges throughout the world over the last two decades and there’s only been one fatality at one of those installations,” Golden Gate Bridge Highway & Transportation District General Manager Denis Mulligan said.
