"It stretches over nearly 2 miles (3.2 km) over the narrow strait connecting San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. And once you've arrived, be sure to check out these restaurants in San Francisco. The bridge was completed in 1937 and was considered an engineering marvel at the time. There are many interesting facts about the Golden Gate Bridge. One of the most fascinating is that the bridge can bend."
"From San Francisco to New York, you'll be left in awe, not only of the beauty and grandeur of the bridges but also the complex engineering required to build these man-made structures. You can find bridges that feel like they have been built within the cliffs on peaks and others that expand over oceans for miles. So much so, you'll feel as though you are driving on water."
America contains a wide variety of impressive bridges across the country, offering scenic views and notable engineering achievements. Bridges span iconic urban centers such as San Francisco and New York and also traverse cliffs, peaks, and long ocean stretches that create the sensation of driving on water. The Golden Gate Bridge stretches nearly two miles, connects San Francisco Bay to the Pacific, opened in 1937, and displayed remarkable flexibility when 300,000 people caused a seven-foot sag during its 50th anniversary. Many bridges are worth visiting for their beauty, engineering complexity, and place on travel itineraries and road-trip routes.
