Tappan Zee Bridge Implements Suicide Prevention Measures
Safety measures will be implemented on the new Tappan Zee Bridge. These efforts are to prevent people from jumping to their death.
The Bridge that rises up to 138 feet above the Hudson River, is a popular spot for suicides.
Yesterday evening's meeting offered new construction designs, regarding the six viewing portals along the shared use path. The scenic locations will be guarded with stainless steel mesh to discourage leapers. The remaining portion of the bridge will be lined for three miles on each side with anti-climbing fencing, according to the Journal News.
Emergency call boxes and additional safety efforts have been constructed all over the bridge concerning suicide prevention. The $3.9 billion dollar designed Tappan Zee Bridge's scheduled opening date is 2018.
