The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate strait, the mile-wide, three-mile-long channel between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, to Marin County, bridging both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Total length of the Golden Gate Bridge from abutment to abutment is 8,981 feet (2,737 m).
