Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate bridge was built by Cheif Engineer Joseph Baermann Strauss from a artistic family mum being a artist and dad being a artist and writer he always wanted to be a artist but ended up being one of the most famous engineer and bridge builder in the world for building the London bridge.

Many misconceptions exist about how often the Bridge is painted. Some say once every seven years, others say from end-to-end each year. Actually, the Bridge was painted when it was originally built. Until 1965, only touch up was required. In 1965, advancing corrosion sparked a program to remove the original lead-based paint (which was 68% red lead paste in a linseed oil carrier). The removal continued to 1995. In 1965, the original paint was replaced with an inorganic zinc silicate primer and acrylic emulsion topcoat. In the 1980s, this paint system was replaced by a water-borne inorganic zinc primer and an acrylic topcoat. The Bridge will continue to require routine touch up painting on an on-going basis.

The Golden Gate Bridge is located in San Francisco, California. The bridge was completed in 1937 and spans the San Francisco Bay. San Francisco (LEFT (western) Coast USA )

No. That distinction belongs to the Bang Na Expressway, which is 33.5 miles long over a city. The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, which is 23.87 miles long, is the longest bridge over water. The Golden Gate Bridge is only 1.7 miles long.

The total bridge weight listed for 1986 includes the reduction in weight due to the redecking in

1986. The weight of the original reinforced concrete deck and its supporting stringers was

166,397 tons (150,952,000 kg). The weight of the new orthotropic steel plate deck, its two inches

of epoxy asphalt surfacing, and its supporting pedestals is now 154,093 tons (139,790,700 kg).

This is a total reduction in weight of the deck of 12,300 tons (11,158,400 kg), or 1.37 tons (1133

kg) per lineal foot of deck

Total length of Bridge including approaches from abutment to abutment: 1.7 miles = 8,981 ft = 2,737 m

Total length of Bridge including approaches from abutment to abutment, plus the distance to the Toll Plaza: 9,150 ft = 2,788 m

Length of suspension span including main span and side spans: 1.2 miles = 6,450 ft = 1,966 m

Length of main span portion of suspended structure (distance between towers): 4,200 ft = 1,280 m

Length of one side span: 1,125 ft = 343 m

Width of Bridge: 90 ft = 27 m

Width of roadway between curbs: 62 ft = 19 m

Width of sidewalk: 10 ft = 3 m

Clearance above mean higher high water: 220 ft = 67 m

Total weight of each anchorage: 60,000 tons = 54,400,000 kg

Original combined weight of Bridge, anchorages, and approaches: 894,500 tons = 811,500,000 kg

Total weight of Bridge, anchorages, and approaches (1937): 894,500 tons = 811,500,000 kg

Total weight of Bridge, anchorages, and approaches (1986)*: 887,000 tons = 804,700,00 kg*

Weight of Bridge, excluding anchorages and approaches, and including the suspended structure, main towers, piers and fenders, bottom lateral system and orthotropic redecking (1986): 419,800 tons = 380,800,000 kg*

* The total bridge weight listed for 1986 includes the reduction in weight due to the redecking in 1986.

From the White House in Washington DC to the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco (by car) the fastest journey is about 2,825 miles.

The Golden Gate Bridge is in San Francisco, California.

First of all the people there did not know that the safety net wasn't sufficient and 11 people fell off and died. :'(Jalapeno waz here and JayJaycoolness

15500 kilograms were used in the bridge construction in the late 1800's. Twenty seven people died during the construction of the bridge as well. Very notable in history and it is free to go both ways.

The Golden Gate Bridge construction was completed and it was opened to automobiles on May 28, 1937, a day after it was opened to the pedestrians. Construction began on January 5, 1933.

The Golden Gate Bridge is famous because it is the tenth longest suspension bridge in the world.

New York City lit up purple lights on the George Washington Bridge in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. They are actually pink lights but take on a purple hue when lit up. (See related article from CBS linked below.)

Some thought that the bridge was lit up this purple color for gay pride to honor the Rutgers freshman who committed suicide off the bridge in late September. However, this was just a rumor.

No

San Francisco, California, United States of America

it is Jose Baerman Straussph who made the golden gate bridge.=)

It took 4 years i did a report on this bridge my answer is right

Construction began on January 5, 1933 and the first pedestrians crossed the bridge on May 27, 1937. The first cars crossed on May 28, 1937.

The original Sunshine Skyway Bridge was constructed in 1954, but destroyed in 1980. The new bridge took five years to build and construction took place from 1982-1987.

It depends on the construction, how complicated it is. Some simple bridges may be built in less than a year, others may take 4-6 years.

No, a plant is only considered a plant when it meets the biological classification criteria for being a plant, such as having chlorophyll and the ability to undergo photosynthesis. If something does not possess these characteristics, it would not be classified as a plant.

Red gate bridge or red iron bridge

There's a Silver Moon on the Golden Gate was created in 1937.

I really dont know when it was built.Youre gonna have t research and try your best to answer it:)
