extendedSummary

A recent NTSB report warns that six major Bay Area bridges may have an unknown risk level for collapse due to potential ship collisions. Among the bridges listed are the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, and others, all built before current safety design guidelines were established. The recommendation for vulnerability assessments comes after the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which underscored the need for updated safety evaluations. Despite these warnings, the NTSB clarifies that elevated risk does not necessarily equate to an imminent collapse.
