Golden Gate Bridge suicide barrier delays add $2.3 million to cost
A correction to an earlier version of this article has been appended to the end of the article.
The barrier was first set to be completed in January 2021, but is now expected to be finished in November 2023 because of construction delays. The addition of the barrier also requires major modifications to the maintenance platforms. The platforms are used by bridge workers to make repairs to the harder-to-reach sides and underbelly of the 1.7-mile span. These changes are expected to be completed in December 2025, about two years later than the original estimate.
Bridge district spokesman Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz said discussions with the company are ongoing. Shimmick communications director Tonya Sandman declined to comment on Friday. “The bottom line is, this is a life-and-death matter,” Muller said Friday. “We’ve lost almost 2,000 people off the bridge since it was opened. It’s long, long past time to get this thing resolved.”
On Friday, the district board voted unanimously to enter into a contract of up to $2.9 million with the San Francisco-based Smith-Emery firm to perform the inspections. Ewa Bauer-Furbush, the district engineer, attributed the cost difference between the two contracts to several factors, including higher pay rates in Washington and Oregon than in Alabama and Georgia. The $704,000 contract will be refunded.
