Randy's+project

i am doing my project on the golden gate bridge.

The Golden Gate required the tallest towers, the longest, thickest cables, and the largest underwater foundation piers ever built. The foundation piers had to be sunk in the violent, pounding waters of the open sea, something that was thought to be impossible.Today, the resulting bridge has clear span of 4600 feet providing a connection between San Francisco and the surrounding Northern Counties. The suspended towers reach 746 ft. upward and the channel clearance below is 220 ft. The roadway is supported by 36.5" diameter cables.
