The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. Before the bridge was built, the only practical short route between San Francisco and what is now Marin County was by boat across a section of San Francisco Bay hence many wanted to build a bridge to connect San Francisco to Marin County. Although San Francisco was the largest American city still served primarily by ferry boats. Because it did not have a permanent link with communities around the bay, the city's growth rate was below the national average. Back then, experts said that ferocious winds and blinding fogs would prevent construction and operation. As a result, the proposal of the construction of the bridge was not made until 1916. Today, the bridge is the biggest attraction and landmark in the city of San Francisco. 1937 ytw1 English (USA) Site 503 06/05/2022 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Bridge height: 22,700cm x span: 128,000cm x cm current,37.8199328,-122.4804438; Building Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, CA, United States 858 public 1 Golden Gate Bridge TEXT
