And happening today, a ceremony this morning to kick off construction of the long discussed Golden Gate Bridge suicide barrier of the. And we looking live at the Golden Gate Bridge. And now, the bridge will undergo a major change. Ktvus rob malcolm, youre near the Golden Gate Bridge now to tell us about the safety precautions taken out there. Good morning. Yeah, good morning, guys this is an iconic structure. You know what . Over the last couple of years, 2016, 40 people have jumped to their death at the bridge. Many others have been talked away from the lemes and many people telling us this the links and many people telling us this is a Long Time Coming. And construction will begin on the suicide deterrent. The initial cost was 76 million and its since belonged to 200 million and that is i plan to have it finished by 2021. The net will be attached to the base of the bridge, more than a mile and a half of open water and stretch out 20 feet from the edges. Many people, as i said, said this is a Long Time Coming and were going to bring in dave, maria . And pria david clemons. Thank you for that and what will we notice about this bridge, the initial construction begins . And the first things we will see are the beginning of may. Contractor fencing is going up along the approaches. This is because theyre going to work underneath the bridge for several months to come and taking specific measurements. They can go away and manufacture that net to specific, precise measurements. The installation will start happening in the middle of the next year. Mid2018 is when they can see the parts of the suicide deterrent being installed on the bridge. And there was not many people talking about the cost overrun of 76 million, the initial cost and were talking about 200 million. Why did that pricetag balloon on this . The first that we got is designed estimate and that was based on this is based on the cost and you build it for that amount of money. We have a couple of bids in and both came in higher. One at 42,000,001, 174 million. And we took the lower bid of those, too and people have actually looked at the place and is much more. And this is known and designed. There have never been deterrents like this on the bridge look this and they have never been built for this scale before. And this is really a technological innovation. Would you say this is a one ofakind project around the world . It is a oneofakind project. And the golden gate brim has a history of innovations and were the first to adjust traffic lanes based on the traffic in the road and the first in the nation to implement the electronic tolling and this is a first, a suicide deterrent net of this scale anywhere in the world.

And the overall look of the bridge, well see some of the artist rendering and that should not look that much different. That was a big factor. One thing we heard clearly from the public, they didnt want the views marred. The golden gate brim is a iconic and magnificent structure. One of the things they enjoy so much, as youre driving and walking and biking across the bridge, you can look out and that is an unobstricted view. And they wont be changed. The views will be in tact onced deterrent is in place and that is below the bridge. And that is an opportunity to bring together different parties, taking funding,igenceys and political will and the suicide advocate community. The families that survived the loss of loved ones who jumped from the bridge here and so, all of these people are going to come together and theyre going to get a chance to share their perspective. Several of the politicians have very personal experiences because theyre from the bay area. And so they know people who have died here at the Golden Gate Bridge.
