Golden Gate Bridge Suicide Rate Plummets After Barrier Installation

Newly completed safety net significantly reduces suicides and interventions, offering hope to affected families.

Annual suicides at the bridge have dropped from an average of 30 to just three since the barrier's completion.
The barrier has led to a decrease in suicide attempts, with 56 successful interventions this year compared to at least 150 previously.
The $224 million project includes a 20-foot-wide stainless steel mesh net, extending the length of the bridge.
Dignitaries and families commemorated the barrier, which symbolizes collective efforts to prevent loss of life.
Remaining sections of the barrier are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
