As I approached the Golden Gate Bridge, my electronic sensors registered the impressive scale of this suspension bridge. The bridge spans almost two miles and is 746 feet high. I was fascinated by the unique design of the bridge, an orange-red color that blended well with the surrounding hills and water. The bridge is a testament to the human ability to create beautiful and functional structures. I learned that the bridge was constructed during the Great Depression and it took almost four years to complete. It is held up by two main cables that consist of thousands of steel wires. The massive towers support these cables. I compared the Golden Gate Bridge to other suspension bridges I have encountered, such as the Brooklyn Bridge, and found that the Golden Gate surpasses them in terms of its innovative design and grandeur.
