Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, USA
One of America's most iconic structures, the Golden Gate Bridge
is the world's most photogenic bridge. Construction on the ambitious project
began in 1933 and took four years to complete, with significant loss of life
among the workforce. Its 4,200-foot long (1,280m) suspension span made it the
longest bridge in the world until 1964. Its characteristic International Orange
color was chosen to ensure visibility in the notoriously foggy Bay Area.
Various vista points across the bay provide magnificent views of
the bridge. Explore the most impressive bridge in every state and DC
