1. The Golden Gate Bridge is a well-recognized landmark in the United States. It spans the Golden
2. Gate Strait - a mile-wide stretch of water that connects the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean.
3. The Golden Gate Bridge itself connects the city of San Francisco with Marin County on the other
4. side of the Strait. The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most beautiful bridges in the world. It is
5. also one of the tallest.
6. The idea for a bridge across the strait had been around for many years, because San Francisco
7. suffered from its isolated location. The only practical way to get across the San Francisco Bay
8. was to take a ferry. Planning for the Golden Gate Bridge began in 1916, but the design underwent
9. many changes before construction finally started in 1933.
10. Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer in charge of the bridge project. However, he had little
11. experience with the construction of suspension bridges. For this reason, other engineers,
12. architects, and designers made vital contributions to the design and construction of the bridge.
13. For example, the bridge owes its art deco style and distinctive orange color (“international
14. orange”) to the architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. Charles Alton Ellis, an expert on structural
15. design, was the main engineer on the project, and did much of the technical work necessary to
16. build the bridge.
17. It was not easy to get the project started. Financing had to be found, and there was much
18. opposition to the very idea of a bridge. Many experts did not believe that it would be possible to
19. build such a long bridge under such difficult circumstances. A suspension bridge of that length
20. had never been built before.
21. The construction of the bridge finally began in 1933. The construction work set new
22. standards for safety – workers were among the first required to wear hard hats, and an innovative
23. safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built. The Golden Gate Bridge
24. was completed in 1937, when the bridge opened to pedestrians. (It was opened to cars one year
25. later.) The bridge was finished ahead of schedule and cost much less than originally budgeted.
26. Today, the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200 feet (almost a mile) and a total
27. length of 8,981 feet, or about 1.7 miles, making it one of the longest bridges in the world (it was
28. the longest until 1964). The bridge is 90 feet wide, and its span is 220 feet above the water. The
29. towers supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait,
30. making them 191 feet taller than the Washington Monument. About 40 million automobiles cross
31. the bridge every year: proof that the bridge serves a vital function.
