On May 27, 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge opens. Nearly 200,000 people walked the 1.7 mile span, which crosses the Golden Gate Strait and connects San Francisco with Marin County. The bridge, which took five years to build, opened to vehicular traffic the next day. Today, over 110,000 automobiles cross the bridge daily. Many consider the Golden Gate Bridge the most picturesque bridge in the world. |
