Golden Gate Bridge
The dream of connecting the city of San Francisco to its neighbors across the Golden Gate Strait became a reality after WWI with the hiring of Chicago engineer Joseph Strauss. A special district was formed in 1923 to oversee the bridge’s formation, and after years of legal battles waged by the opposition, construction finally commenced in early 1933. Given the chance for steady employment amid the Great Depression, the crew braved treacherous conditions as the roadway and towers took shape over the open ocean. Opened to the public in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge has endured as an iconic landmark and a marvel of modern engineering.
