Golden Gate Bridge

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.

Per the Golden Gate bridge website "Animals, including dogs and horses, which are being led, ridden or driven, with the exception of service animals, such as guide dogs, signal dogs and service dogs, are NOT allowed."

It does not give any reason for this decision. There is a petition to allow dogs to ride in bicycle trailers across the Golden Gate Bridge, so they can make the ride down to Sausalito and back across the bay by ferry with you. The bridge is the only part of the loop that is off lilmits to dogs.

Yes it is a parabola because in the architectural blueprint the equation y=x^2 was shown. Another obvious way to tell its the curve that the suspension ropes make in the middle and two outsides. I happen to know this question because I live only a few minutes from the bridge.

No. The Mackinaw Bridge is longer.

I have walked on both of them, and crossed both by auto. There is no comparison.

No one is known to have committed suicide on the bridge, but the San Francisco Chronicle reports that more than 1,250 have killed themselves by jumping off of it. The exact number is not known

11 men died evan thought they had a net it failed.

35 million dollors. also with all these things. $423,000 for Administrative and Preliminary Expenses, $4,068,000 for Financing, and $1,334,000 in surplus. The $27 million for final construction of the span is higher than the $23 million for the initial construction bids as other items were included in the final cost such as the toll plaza ($450,000), toll collection equipment ($72,000), tower elevators ($60,000), miscellaneous equipment ($45,000), and Military replacements and improvements ($575,000).

The Golden Gate Bridge created thousands of jobs during its construction during the Great Depression. It still employs hundreds of people. The bridge carries many thousands every day to work and recreation.

Yes A total of eleven people died during construction due to falling. Ten came near the end when the safety net failed to provide, well, safety.

The Golden Gate Bridge is painted red, but called Golden because of the sun. Its steel cables are long enough to circle the Earth three times! If the US Navy had its way, the bridge might have been painted in black and yellow strips, for ships to see it clearly. Over 1,200 suicides have occurred from jumping off the bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed bridge in the entire world.

it takes you to the magical world of cupcakes :)

The Golden Gate was built between 1933 and 1937.

The Golden Gate Bridge is pretty safe. It survived the Loma Prieta Earthquake while the Bay Bridge collapsed. It has not collapsed yet unlike the Tacoma Narrows Bridge which collapsed because of wind.
