Millions of dollars were approved in January 2023 to put a suicide deterrent on the San Diego Coronado Bridge. Construction to install the suicide deterrent will not start until 2027, so you won’t see any activity at the Coronado Bridge for a few years. Suicides at the bridge have been an issue for the area for decades and people have been asking for years for help addressing the issue. Others said the view of, and from the bridge will be impacted. Still, some like Jason Stewart, ask if a deterrent going to solve the problem. "If people want to do what they want to do, then they're going to do it. I don't think that's going to be the deterrent. You can't put a price on a life but I'm not sure how effective it will be. They tried a couple of small things so far and they haven't seen any reduction in attempts," Stewart said. Since 1969, there have been more than 400 deaths at the bridge. One of those deaths occurred early June 2023. The Coronado Bridge is home to the second most bridge-related suicides in the country after the golden gate bridge.
