The Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge was opened at May 27, 1937, the construction begins at January 5, 1933 and end at April 19, 1937. It was created by Joseph Strauss, Irving Morrow, and Charles Ellis. Is one of the icons of San Francisco and this building is 75 years old and celebrated with fireworks and a huge event. It has been declared one of the modern Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.The Frommers travel guide considers the Golden Gate Bridge "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world".
Before the bridge was built, the only practical short route between San Francisco and what is now Marin County was by boat across a section of San Francisco Bay.As the only road to exit San Francisco to the north, the bridge is part of both U.S. Route 101 and California Route 1.  The bridge is popular with pedestrians and bicyclists as well as cars, and was built with walkways on either side of the six traffic lanes. Initially, they were separated by the traffic lanes by only a metal curb, but railings between the walkways and the traffic lanes were added in 2003, primarily as a measure to prevent runaway cyclists from falling into the roadway.

Isn't it beautiful?
