The Golden delicious Spoils Bridge of San Francisco, with bonds of County Sailor in absolute splendour. The bridge is l' one of the architectural wonders of the XXe century and a testimony of fight of l' man, as it was built during the years of the Great Depression. During years, the Golden delicious Spoils Bridge held the title like the longest suspended bridge in the world. Before its completion in 1937, the bridge was considered to be impossible to build, thanks to the time of persistent fog, 60-mile-per-winds hour, and strong oceanic currents, which whipped by a deep canyon below. In fact, the bridge is commonly known like the bridge " who n' could not be construit." In spite of these natural elements pitiless, the bridge was built in a little more than four years. The total costs were of 35 million dollars. The overall length of the spans of bridge of 1,2 miles. Eleven men lost the life during the construction of the bridge...
Even aujourd' today, the solid mass of the spans of the bridge are often wrapped in the fog. Swingings bridge of 27 feet to resist the winds jusqu' with 100 miles per hour. International Orange is the color chosen for the bridge, because it mixes well with an natural environment of the bridge. The two large cables s' extending from the bridge 80,000 miles of wire d' contain; steel, which is enough to make the turn of l' equator with three recoveries. The concrete run to cement the bridge in tumultuous water below could also have been used to open one period of five feet of pavement from New York to San Francisco. Because of the bridge of the Golden delicious Spoils, San Francisco is l' one of the towns of first choice in line d' horizon of the nation. It was one day triumphal in l' history of the city when the bridge was completed on May 27, 1937. More than 200.000 people celebrated l' opening of the Golden bridge Spoils while going its length. The following day, a ceremony d' inauguration took place in order to baptize officially what will become the architectural mark of the city. The regular flow of the motor vehicle traffic began the next day.

The efforts aiming at beginning the construction of the bridge began since 1928. The process would imply the efforts of six counties of the north of California. In 1928, the counties formed a Golden delicious Spoils Bridge and the road of district. In 1930, voters of the appropriations d' a number 35 million dollars d' obligations to finance the construction of the bridge. During many following years, Joseph Baerman Strauss, an eminent engineer, dreamed d' to raise a range through the Golden delicious Spoils. C' is in answer to its vision which people started to say that the bridge could not be built. But, rather surprisingly, Strauss clung to its vision, and a span was finally raised through the Golden delicious Spoils Bridge. Effective work on the bridge began on January 5, 1933. It was supplemented four-and-a years and half later. The result astonished by the wildest criticisms of Strauss. To date, the bridge is admired for its size and its beauty. The bridge is nothing less qu' a powerful force for goal to fight against nature. Often powerful winds of l' Pacific Ocean are supported by a swing centers span of 27 feet. Two turns of the bridge of 746 meters an impressive rise, which is of 191 feet higher than Washington Monument. The pile of the bridge is only 1215 meters of bank, the distance between the two turns which support the cables, which in its turn, support the floor of the bridge is of 4200 feet. These two cables are more important than the cables of the bridge ever made with a little more than 3,61 meters in diameter.

Aujourd' today, the pedestrians and the cyclists are always authorized to cross the bridge on the ways with unspoilable views on the city, Alcatraz and the Cape Marin. The toll bridge for the vehicles is of 5 $ at the time of l' entry of San Francisco. The first exit of the Marin part of the bridge is Visa Not, which offers a splendid sight on the skyline of San Francisco. But, the best means of seeing the bridge is to go through. That takes usually approximately an hour.
