Bridge Length
The Golden Gate Bridge stretches an impressive 1.7 miles across the Golden Gate Strait, connecting San Francisco to Marin County.
Signature Color
The bridge's iconic orange-red hue, known as 'International Orange,' was specifically chosen by architect Irving Morrow. It's a slightly lighter shade than what you might see on an astronaut's spacesuit.
Vehicles Crossed
Over 2 billion cars have crossed the Golden Gate Bridge since its opening in 1937, making it one of the most heavily trafficked bridges in the world.
Bridge Sag
During the bridge's 50th anniversary celebration in 1987, an estimated 300,000 people walked across, causing the bridge to sag by 7 feet due to the weight.
