The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge in New Mexico has been temporarily closed to pedestrian traffic following a significant increase in recorded suicides within the past six months. Authorities have implemented safety measures to mitigate potential risks. The bridge, a vital transportation link, is now operating only for vehicles and freight. Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the heightened risk and explore potential solutions to prevent further incidents. The bridge remains open for vehicular traffic and remains a significant landmark in the region.
