"But we're finally seeing the construction getting there, and we see a light at the end of the tunnel," Muller said in closing.

Muller also said that the transportation district approved an $824K training program this past Friday that's aimed to educate responders on how to recover people from the steel nets. "It's been a long, difficult process to get this done," said Paul Muller, who is the president of the Bridge Rail Foundation, to The Times of London. It's a far better alternative to the more deadly reality that could come by falling hundreds of feet down into the cold seawater below. Per the transportation district, the yet-installed nets will be sturdy - made of steel wire, each section supported by struts attached to the vertical parts of the GGB's stiffening truss - but they’ll be capable of causing injury on impact.
Initially, the project was set to debut in 2021, but a recent update on the transportation district’s website now says that the project is “expected to be completed in 2023.”ĭeni Mulligan - who’s the general manager of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District - told the LA Times in August that when the network of nets is completed, it'll be nearly 100% effective in preventing people from taking their lives by jumping off the world-famous bridge. To prevent deadly jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge, the Suicide Deterrent System, which is a $211M project by the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District, will eventually place a 20-foot-wide net along the entire bridge, about 20 feet below the bridge's sidewalk.

It took over 4 years from the start of construction in Jan 1933 for the Golden Gate Bridge to welcome pedestrians & cars onto its freshly paved roadways in May 1937, however, the concept for the Bridge was dreamt up well before the 1930s.
