Upgrade works are planned for the historic Golden Gate Bridge in California. The US$400 million grant is being provided by the US Department of Transportation via the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The work will secure the bridge, which opened to traffic in the 1930s, against seismic damage. The San Francisco area is noted for its seismic activity due to its proximity to the San Andreas fault. A number of key structural components will be upgraded or replaced as required to strengthen the bridge. |
