The most photographed bridge in the world was
completed in May 1937 after 52 months of construction and a cost of $35
million. Designed by Joseph Strauss, it was the longest suspension bridge
in the world at that time, at a length of 1.2 miles. It was designed to
withstand winds of up to 100mph as it swings up to 27 ft. The bridge connects
San Francisco and the Presidio to the Marin Headlands in Marin County
to the north. Its name comes from the 'gateway to the gold' harbor entrance
named during the Gold Rush. The official paint color is 'international
orange' It takes a team of 25 people 11 1/2 months to paint and it is
painted every year, using 1000 gallons of paint a week.
