What is so special about the Golden Gate bridge?|121445

And why do so many people want to make tourist there? It is just another bridge, why is it so attractive to tourists I don_t understand what_s it_s significance?

The Golden Gate Bridge had the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937. It has been surpassed by 8 others now.

The center span was the longest among suspension bridges until 1964 when the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was erected between the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City. The Golden Gate Bridge also had the world_s tallest suspension towers at the time of construction, and retained that record until more recently. In 1957, Michigan_s Mackinac Bridge surpassed the Golden Gate Bridge_s length to become the world_s longest two tower suspension bridge in total length between anchorages.

_The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay onto the Pacific Ocean. As part of both US Highway 101 and State Route 1, it connects the city of San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County.

The Golden Gate Bridge had the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937 and has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and the United States._

_The bridge is widely considered one of the most beautiful examples of bridge engineering, both as a structural design challenge and for its aesthetic appeal. It was declared one of the modern Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. According to Frommer_s travel guide, the Golden Gate Bridge is _possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world._ wikipedia.org

It_s name make it special, _The Golden Gate_. Also, it_s so awesome to see this huge structure over the bay and able to communicate point A with point B.

Another thing that I feel it makes this bridge special is the color. This orange tone make a cool effect when the background is cloudy. The color also make it look _Imposing_ and _huge_.

As other person said, It_s spectacular to see it with fog. For those who see it for the first time, It_s an unforgettable experience

In conclusion, The golden Gate Bridge is a bridge, but not like any other. For this reason is the most important symbol that represent _The City By the Bay_

I love it!

It_s not just another bridge that connects point A to B. It_s a BEAUTIFUL bridge that functions as a bridge as well as an amazing art piece and yet, complements very well with its natural surroundings.

It is indeed a marvelous engineering structure that has now been surpassed by other newer structures. But you do have to see it in person first to understand the beauty of it. AND to see it in different weather conditions for that matter.

For the context of the times when it was constructed (1930s), the GG bridge was (and remains) an engineering marvel. There are a number of documentaries that cover its construction. It has withstood the test of time for aesthetics and engineering.

It_s a bridge that_s by the water ^_^

and it looks so cool at night with all the lights! (especially if you_re looking at it from the plane as it lands into the airport)

It_s a bridge like no other. See it on a foggy day ! No doubt you_ve never been there.

Go see and you_ll know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
