The funds to fortify San Francisco's landmark bridge come from the multibillion-dollar infrastructure bill signed last year by President Biden.
A net designed to prevent suicides from the Golden Gate Bridge could cost nearly $400 million, double what was originally estimated for the project.The project, whose original estimated price tag was about $80 million, could cost as much as $400 million, according to a lawsuit brought by construction firms in charge of the installation against the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, which manages the bridge.
The construction firms claim that crews have encountered “extensive bridge deterioration,” leading to delays and cost overruns. The transportation district said it had been “transparent” with the companies regarding the bridge’s condition and was “deeply frustrated” with the slow rate of progress. The installation of the suicide prevention net is tentatively expected to be completed sometime next year.
