Until recently, this bridge was considered the most grandiose structure. When listing the sights of the United States, this bridge can be put on par with the Statue of Liberty. The bridge received the name Golden Gate back in 1937, when its construction was completed. The length of the Golden Gate is 2737 m, and the width is 27 m. The bridge is made of three parts, while the length of the longest of them is 1280 m. The creators of the structure came up with a really suitable name for it, since this bridge is a truly important "artery" of the city. In the morning, when the entire population of the city is in a hurry somewhere, only wide car lanes in several rows contribute to a successful passage without traffic jams and long waits. According to statistics, about 100 thousand cars pass over the bridge during the day. The bridge was originally painted brick red, but due to high humidity and salty air, its colors begin to fade very quickly. About 40 painters constantly take care of the Golden Gate, because every year thousands of tourists come to the United States to see it.
