The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge that connects the city of San Francisco with the Marin Headlands in Marin County. Construction on the Golden Gate Bridge began in 1933, with the first traffic allowed on it in 1937. The bridge is about 1.7 miles long, and was the idea of engineer Joseph Strauss. The bridge features a popular look-out area on the Marin side that provides for views of San Francisco.
