The Biden Administration’s infrastructure bill will help fund the final phase of the Golden Gate Bridge’s seismic retrofit. Pete Buttigieg, Mayor London Breed, and congresswoman Nancy Pelosi met to celebrate the grant for The City’s iconic span.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joined Mayor London Breed, U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi and White House infrastructure coordinator Mitch Landrieu at the Roundhouse Cafe at the Golden Gate Bridge Toll Plaza Monday to celebrate a $400 million grant to complete the final phase of a much–needed seismic retrofit to one of nation's most iconic spans.
A retrofit was determined to be more cost-effective than replacing the bridge, so in 1992 the agency hired an engineering team to design an 8 magnitude earthquake-withstanding Golden Gate Bridge. The first phase of the project began in 1997 on the Marin-side north viaduct; the initial $71 million retrofit was funded through bridge tolls. The transportation agency estimates that 40 million motorists a year travel the Golden Gate.
“The Golden Gate Bridge is an international icon and key transportation link for the Bay Area that serves tens of millions of residents and visitors every year. This vital funding allows us to finish strengthening the bridge against disasters,” said district General Manager Denis Mulligan.
