January 5 is the day when construction of the Golden Gate Bridge began
On January 1933, 5, the construction of one of the most famous bridges in the world - the Golden Gate Bridge - began in San Francisco and was completed 4 years later.
Before the bridge was built, for decades, the Golden Gate Strait and the bay were only accessible by ferry.
Due to the great width of the strait, which is more than two kilometers and depth - more than one hundred meters, as well as strong currents and frequent thick fogs, its construction was considered impossible.
The bridge connects San Francisco with Marin County.
This bridge is one of the most beautiful bridges in the world and one of the most famous attractions in the United States.
