THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the symbols of the United States of America It is located in San Francisco, California,and spans the Golden Gate strait - a mile wide strait that connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay It is sure one ofthe most beautiful bridges in the world, and also one of the tallest (the height of a bridge is the height of the towers) Thebridge as it is today was designed by architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow However their art deco project was not the first
Golden Gate Bridge The original plans for the bridge were drawn in 1961, but they were of a very complicated and ugly
structure, certainly not something could be ever proud of
The bridge was a true experiment in its time, such a long suspension bridge had never been tried before It had the hightesttowers, the thickest cables and the largest underwater foundations ever built The foundations were a real problem, becausethey had to be cast in a depth of more than 100 feet Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem The real challenge lay in thesinking of the piers in the violent waves of the open sea, which was thought to be almost impossible the construction began in
1933 and was finished in 1937,when the bridge opened to pedestrians (It was opened to cars one year later) The bridge wasfinished ahead of schedule and cost much less than was estimated Today the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200
feet (almost a mile) and a total length of 8,981 feet The towers supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet above the water Eachsteel cable is 7,650 long and has a diametre of 36 inches
"International orange " is the colour the bridge has always been painted The architects chose it because it blends well withthe span's natural setting However, if the Navy had had its way, the bridge would have been painted black with yellow stripes
- in favour of greater visibility for passing ships There are fog horns to let passing ships know where the bridge is, andaircraft beacon on the tops of the towers to prevent planes from crashing into them

Golden Gate Bridge The original plans for the bridge were drawn in 1961, but they were of a very complicated and ugly
structure, certainly not something could be ever proud of
The bridge was a true experiment in its time, such a long suspension bridge had never been tried before It had the hightesttowers, the thickest cables and the largest underwater foundations ever built The foundations were a real problem, becausethey had to be cast in a depth of more than 100 feet Extreme depth wasn't the sole problem The real challenge lay in thesinking of the piers in the violent waves of the open sea, which was thought to be almost impossible the construction began in
1933 and was finished in 1937,when the bridge opened to pedestrians (It was opened to cars one year later) The bridge wasfinished ahead of schedule and cost much less than was estimated Today the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200
feet (almost a mile) and a total length of 8,981 feet The towers supporting the huge cables rise 746 feet above the water Eachsteel cable is 7,650 long and has a diametre of 36 inches
"International orange " is the colour the bridge has always been painted The architects chose it because it blends well withthe span's natural setting However, if the Navy had had its way, the bridge would have been painted black with yellow stripes
- in favour of greater visibility for passing ships There are fog horns to let passing ships know where the bridge is, andaircraft beacon on the tops of the towers to prevent planes from crashing into them
The Golden Gate Bridge is the first sight for many people approaching the United States by boat It is almost the WestCoast's "Statue of Liberty" and is something everyone should at least once
