Abstract: A bridge containment system (10) comprises at least two vertically positioned cables (12) which comprise at least a first cable (12A) and a second cable (12B). The bridge containment system (10) farther comprises least two chains (16) interwoven and slidably mounted onto the plurality of vertically positioned cables (12), a first chain (16A) is interwoven and slidably mounted onto the first cable (12A) and a second chain (16B) is interwoven and slidably mounted onto the second cable (12B). The bridge containment system (10) further comprises at least one fence (18) is securely attached along a first distal edge to the first chain (16A) and securely attached along an opposite distal edge to the second chain (16B), when the first cable (12A) and the second cable (12B) are raised and lowered, the at least one fence (18) is concurrently raised and lowered functioning to contain falling debris.
