Great bridges

one of the most stunning bridges i've seen so far
was a real adventure to pass it
love the scenery with beautiful san fran in the background and the bridge in between these seaside hills

whats this? just kidding :jk:

great bridge

What a beautiful bridge! I really want to go & visit the GGB one day...
(Look at all that fog! You can't even see the tower right ahead of you when you're driving!)

Amazing, it has to be the color (International Orange) which make it so attractive to the human eye.

I agree the color really makes it that much better. Hope they never attempt to change it for some odd reason.

And it has good history. They built it during the great depression when they lacked funds AND they were already building the bay bridge AND the area they built it in has high speed winds and strong ocean currents. Not only that but the engineer brought innovations with the bridge like the hard hat.

I agree the color really makes it that much better. Hope they never attempt to change it for some odd reason.

The US Coast Gaurds wanted the Golden Gate Bridge to be painted yellow and black stripes for better visability during foggy days, thank God that never happened. Here's more wonderful pictures of the bridge taken by Robert Campbell.

Great! i've been on it and it's really cool!!!

I must of crossed the Golden Gate Bridge hundred's of time. Every time I cross it I get a thrill. Yes, it doesn't take much to thrill me. :clown:

Cheers!!

There is no discussion, the BEST bridge in the world!

The Golden Gate Bridge is beautiful but beware the waters between the shore and the south tower. The following pictures taken by photographer Wayne Lambright of San Francisco are from the Latitude 38 website:

Great bridge. I love how it disappears in the mist. I have to see that for real sometime

One of the most beautiful examples of Art Deco design.

May 27th, 1937, the Golden Gate opens to the public. It's a little late but, HAPPY 68th BIRTHDAY TO THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.

The setting surrounding it just makes it that much better

Amazing pics !

The best way to tour Golden Gate Bridge is by bicycle. Walking the entire length is too much of a physical work out, by the time you reach the other side of the strait, you simply don't want to repeat it again, however bus service on the north shore is extremely inconvenient, don't expect some one will come and pick you up right way. If you drive through the bridge, then you are certainly going to miss the most beatiful part of the San Francisco Bay. So my advice, Since all Muni buses carry bicycle racks, take advantage of that, ride Muni routes 28 or 29 which can bring you diretly to the south toll booth, then cruise the bridge on your bicycle, you will be saved from strenuous exercises while enjoying a spetacular scenery.

Man, this makes me miss the Bay Area, my former hometown!, A lot more...

Its simply stunning.

I've had the pleasure of seeing it twice.

Golden Gate Bridge = The lord of the bridges

Watch the trailer for "The Bridge". The other side of the Golden Gate Bridge.

beautiful bridge and awesome photos.

One day I will make my way to California and I will walk across it. Its a hobby of mine. More bridges need pedestrian walkways

the new bay brige will have one! Everyone has to walk across the Golden Gate in their lifetime, mainly the walk back into the city. Has some nice views

Thats fantastic that the new bay bridge will have one. But what about the portion already built? From Yerba Buena (or something) to San Francisco?

a bridge with the highest suicide rate in sfo..

STILL BEAUTIFUL!

Very nice pictures

What a beautiful bridge. Check out the time lapse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VJPuXsFO18&mode=related&search=

Some photos from my recent trip to the city. Walked from pier 39 to the bay bridge, back across the city to the pier and then to the golden gate, across it and back across in one day (very tired and got a cab once we were back across).

To add to that.... the only thing I dont like about the bridge is the lighting scheme at night. I think the Bay Bridge looks so much better at night.... the Golden Gate needs some more lights up it and along the span to bring out its colour at night.

Now that's a Bridge :eek:

we need more pictures, and has anyone got pictures in and around the countryside on the opposite side to San Fran? with Sausalito and so on

can you believe this is part of the golden gate.

thanks for these, really good photos

I really need to get over there and have an explore around, it looks such a beautiful/cool place (like most of California/the west coast of US)

its a bitch to drive across in the fog though

The largest ship to enter the Golden Gate into the San Francisco Bay went under the Golden Gate Bridge on Super Bowl Sunday.

It's the bridge to end all bridges... And speaking of ends, it'a also the bridge from which to end one's life. More people have taken the plunge from this bridge than from any other bridge in the world. I watched a chilling documentary on this topic and was shocked to learn that the sole survivor of one of those plunges, was a co-worker of mine...

I saw that movie too. It was interesting.

I proud my city and GGB

its a damn amazing experience to drive through the thing... i've gone through it dozens of times and everytime it's still breathtaking =)

The largest ship to enter the Golden Gate into the San Francisco Bay went under the Golden Gate Bridge on Super Bowl Sunday.Left unsaid (for perspective) was (is) the name of the vessel - The "QM2" (Queen Mary II).

That bridge is amazing, it has no bad angles, no matter how and from where you take a picture of it its just beautiful

I took this shot a couple days ago, I couldnt snap the camera in time and wound up with this picture:

Well, I'm in no way disparaging the aesthetic value of the GGB, its no doubt amazing. I only posted that in reply to the previous poster that it has NO bad angles, no matter How and from Where you take a picture of it... which insinuates that any picture of the bridge would be beautiful.

I was just making light (smiley denotes attitude) of the photografic gaffe on your posted image. ;)

BTW, hope you enjoyed your stay in San Francisco... :)

The view when you look at the Pacific is awesome from the Bridge!!
GGB, THE BEST!!

unfortunatelly when I was over there the day was really foggy thats why i wasn t able to look at GGB, but you can always look at wroclaw ;-)

Lawsuit filed over seismic work at Golden Gate Bridge
23 October 2007

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A lawsuit alleges seismic work done five years ago on the Golden Gate Bridge will have to be redone and could cost more than $3 million to fix.

Golden Gate Bridge district officials, who filed the suit, say the bridge is safe, but part of it could get beat up in a big earthquake.

They're suing the partnership responsible for the work's design.

Workers have made temporary repairs to a 20-foot section on the north side of the bridge. The district alleges the design doesn't allow the section to bend the way it should in a large quake.

A call to T.Y. Lin International/Imbsen and Association Inc. Joint Venture was not immediately returned Tuesday.

I knew that! I was just making light (smiley denotes attitude) of the photografic gaffe on your posted image. ;)

BTW, hope you enjoyed your stay in San Francisco... :)

Long overdue, but anyway, I live in the Bay Area!

Glad, I actually think that's a beautiful photo. Even when you don't get the picture that you want, it still turns out awesome. This is my favorite thing in the world, I was at it last week. There is nothing more beautiful than this bridge, at least to me. I've never taken a bad picture of it, maybe blurry or unclear ones, but it's always fantastic. I guess it just depends on what your opinion is.

Always wanted to visit the Golden Gate and now I have. Hire a bike and took a trip across it. Heres just one or two of my pics from about two weeks ago....

during my sfo trip

Is it under construction or completed one

Come to the bridge on 12 July at noon -- we are having a Laborfest Bridge walk to articulate the work by Bethlehem Steel at Pottstown and Trenton in fabbing this bridge, the load out at Philadelphia, and the arrival at site "just in time" --come to the construction office at Fort Point and hear about the erection rigging by McClintic Marshall -meet ironworkers who maintain the bridge today --and of course we will be honoring Strauss --and also talking about the upcoming Doyle Drive and Phase 3a and 3b projects

http://www.laborfest.net

don't miss this event - 12 noon 12 July at GG Bridge

Seeing in real that bridge is really "to do" thing in my life :)

Is it under construction or completed one

Well, obviously it's been open since the 1930's but it always undergoing maintenance. In fact it is always being repainted because as soon as they finish on one end they immediately have to start over at the other. In addition to that the moist salty air leads to corrosion so they are constantly replacing parts of the bridge.

With the arrival by barge of the sections of SFOBB, we should remember that GG Bridge was fabbed in Pennsylvania and in Trenton in Bethlehem shops, then loaded out in Philadelphia and shipped to site through the Panama Canal --upcoming Projects 3a north anchorage and 3b main span are very ambitious retrofits

(Thread Bump)

The Golden Gate bridge is currently undergoing a seismic retrofit costing $392 million.

And Doyle Drive, the south access road to the Golden Gate Bridge, is structurally and seismically deficient and is in the process of being replaced with a new safer roadway. Work on that will be completed in 2013.

Next year will be the 75th anniversary of the Bridge, events are being held each month leading up to the main celebration

http://www.goldengatebridge75.org/

as for the upgrades to the freeway sections off the Bridge, those were PWA / WPA projects constructed separately in the '30s ---they are in need of retrofit, both structural and seismic
