Golden Gate Bridge Security Alert Cut Back
National guardsmen patrolled below and federal officials watched the skies above the Golden Gate Bridge during Monday morning’s commute, wrapping up a weekend of intensified monitoring.
The bridge was placed on a “super-heightened” state of alert Friday through Sunday after information was provided through an interagency coalition Friday, said Mary Currie, spokeswoman for the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District.
Traffic for Monday morning’s commute appeared normal.
Security was downgraded to the “heightened” state of alert the bridge has been operating under since Sept. 11, Currie said.
She would not elaborate on the details of any terrorist threat or specify the information’s source.
