Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge opened to transit in the year 1937. It connected the city of San Francisco to Marin County and Oakland. At the time it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It's length has since been surpassed by eight other bridges but it remains the second largest suspension bridge in the United States.

All these things aside, the Golden Gate has become one of the most iconic bridges in the world. It has been one of the most photographed bridges the world over. It is acclaimed as one of the modern Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It's just as American as the Statue of Liberty and the Grand Canyon.
