In 2012, five men whom authorities identified as "self-described anarchists" were arrested and accused of planning to blow up the bridge. [5] The five were accused of planting what they thought were explosives and attempting to detonate it with a cell phone. [6] Following guilty pleas and one conviction, the men were sentenced between November 2012 and October 2013. [7] [8]
A project to replace portions of the bridge began in 2025. In preparation for this project, workers discovered a crack in a bridge column, prompting a short-term closure of the bridge. [9]
