You can put a lock on the love lock bridge but I recommend you bring your own lock. We purchased a couple of locks from a guy on the bridge and the next day they were both gone. We think he has a master key and removed them at night, cleans them, and resells them. Bring your own lock and key and you will be fine. There are quite a few locks on the bridge.
Q:
Is there anybody that went this year and knows if you can still put the locks for sure?
A:
There will be people on the bridge to sell you a lock with a sharpie to write your note on the lock. we did it at thanksgiving 2018 and no one stopped us.
