Note: Suspension and truss arch bridge spanning the Golden Gate channel, linking San Francisco, California, with Marin county to the north. From 1937-1964 it was the bridge with the longest main span in the world. Construction, under the supervision of Joseph B. Strauss, involved many difficulties, including rapidly running tides, frequent storms, fogs,and the problem of blasting rock under deep water to plant earthquake-proof foundations. The color orange is a significant design element.
