The Golden Gate needs to sway so that it does snap. Think of the idea of rigid flexibility in the construction of bridges, skyscrapers and even the St. Louis Arch. The Arch can sway 18 inches in high winds. If you were to go up into the John Hancock building in Chicago and went in the restroom on the upper floors look in the toilets and you will see the water moving. For a structure to stand there does need to be a rigid structure but built in the structure a small degree of flexibility. There needs to be a little give to absorb some of the energy or it will snap. Look in nature and you will see trees that have the ability to flex with the force of the winds. The key again is the internal structure, foundation and a degree of flexibility.

Franklin D. Roosevelt opened the golden gate bridge

It's not a long walk: about three and a quarter (3.25) miles, from the New Yorker Hotel on 34th Street and 8th Avenue, to the Brooklyn Bridge. So, theoretically, at a pace of about 4 miles per hour, it would take you 45 to 50 minutes, but in reality it will probably take an hour, since you'll have to stop for traffic lights along the way.

they had problems with the wind control

11 workers died while building the bridge and 19 workers survived thanks to a safety net.

Yes. The rate for two-axle vehicles and motorcycles (as designated by the CA DMV) with cash is $6 and $5 with FasTrak. FasTrak is the electronic toll system accepted on the Golden Gate Bridge as well as all seven Bay Area Bridges operated by Caltrans. For vehicles with more than two axles, the toll rate is $3 per axle and $2.50 per axle with FasTrak
The toll for the Golden Gate Bridge is $6 for a car or motorcycle. The more axles a vehicle has, the higher the toll. The rate for a vehicle registered with the carpool program is $3.

Golden Gate Bridge is one point two miles long, it can be driven across in about two minutes if there's no traffic. It is about a twenty minute walk depending on stopping to enjoy the view or taking a break and having a picnic.

It is 4,200 feet.

The Golden Gate bridge opening ceremony was on May 27, 1937 and lasted for one week.

San Francisco, USA.

The Golden Gate bridge was originally painted its current orange color as a sealant to protect against rust. It was kept the color because it stood out to oncoming ships. People ask, why not golden? A reflective golden bridge would become annoying fast, not to mention that "golden gate" referred not to the bridge itself but rather than the gateway it provided to access gold during the gold rush of 1849)

Yes you can!

The Golden Gate is the narrow channel connecting the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. It was named the Golden Gate by John C Frèmont on 1 July, 1846. The golden Gate bridge, however, is the suspension bridge connecting San Francisco and Marin County that crosses over the Golden Gate.

The Golden Gate Bridge, which extends across the Golden Gate strait, connects the Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean in the United States. The strait was named after the Golden Gate, an imperial entrance gate of city of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul.)

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge.

Suspension bridges are a good way to span a wide gap because they need only two support towers. These towers are usually on land or in the shallowwater near the shore.

Strong cables hang between the two towers. The ends of the cables are attached to heavy anchorpoints on land. Small cables, called stringers, hang down and hold the deck in place.

The bridge crosses the Golden Gate Strait and that is where its name comes from--John Fremont named the strait. The builders were originally going to paint it gray or black, but the architect decided that the International Orange paint color blended better with the surroundings.

The Golden Gate bridge was paid for by a lobbied bond measure which in the end the founder of the Bank Of America paid for it.
