Protecting the safety of travelers over the Golden Gate Bridge, including 555,000 truck drivers carrying freight annually, was a key topic among Washington officials gathered in San Francisco near the iconic landmark to celebrate a $400 million federal grant for earthquake resiliency.
“There is only one Golden Gate Bridge, and we are going to protect it,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg declared Jan. 23 during a celebratory event attended by White House Transportation adviser Mitch Landrieu, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and local officials.
