DESCRIPTIVE TEXT

GENERIC STRUCTURE

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 California Route 1, it connects the city of San Francisco on the
northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County.

IDENTIFICATION

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 California. Since its completion, the span length has been surpassed by
eight other bridges. It still has the second longest suspension bridge main span in the
United States, after the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York City. In 2007, it was
ranked fifth on the List of America’s Favorite Architecture by the American Institute
of Architects.
