Golden
Gate
Bridge The
Golden
Gate
Bridge
is
an
engineering
marvel
that
spans
the
Golden
Gate
Strait
in
San
Francisco,
California.
Opened
in
May
1937,
it
is
a
suspension
bridge
that
connects
San
Francisco
to
Marin
County.
At
the
time
of
its
construction,
it
was
the
longest
suspension
bridge
in
the
world. Designed
by
engineer
Joseph
Strauss,
the
bridge
stands
at
746
feet
tall
and
spans
1.7
miles.
The
bridge
contains
80,000
miles
of
wire
cable,
and
its
two
main
cables
consist
of
27,572
strands
of
wire,
with
a
combined
weight
of
11,000
tons.
The
bridge
is
also
painted
an
iconic
“international
orange”
color,
which
is
said
to
help
with
visibility
in
San
Francisco’s
foggy
weather
conditions. The
construction
of
the
bridge
faced
several
obstacles,
including
strong
tides
and
winds,
difficult
terrain
and
the
challenges
of
the
Great
Depression.
Despite
these
challenges,
the
bridge
was
