Suicide Barrier Could Be Installed On Golden Gate Bridge

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - MARCH 12: A visitor looks over the railing on the Golden Gate Bridge on March 12, 2014 in San Francisco, California. A long debated suicide barrier on the Golden Gate Bridge could be one step closer to reality after Caltrans and the regional Metropolitan Transportation Commission have indicated that they will be willing to contribute $44 million toward putting giant nets under the span of the bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge district would need to invest $12 million in toll money to cover the remaining cost. Over 1,500 people committed suicide by jumping from the iconic bridge since it opened in 1937. 46 people jumped to their death in 2013. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
