A Railing Retrofit Causes The Golden Gate Bridge to "Sing" In High Winds
SFGATE and KQED report, engineers prescribed new railing slats for the Golden Gate Bridge’s western side to help the structure withstand high winds.

Indiana-based trucking company Buchanan Hauling & Rigging spearheaded the super load haul through two lane roads and tight turns.”
