It was built from 1933 to 1937 and connects San Francisco and the Marina Peninsula County. For years San Francisco Bay had to be crossed by ferries before the bridge was built. There weren’t enough ferries, so they started building the 2,727-metre-long bridge, which is now one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. When the miners came to San Francisco during the gold rush, San Francisco harbour got the name “Golden Gate”, so the bridge was given this name too. First the engineer, the German American Joseph Strauss, wanted to paint the bridge grey.

It was built with some reserve load capacity, and recent structural improvements have lightened the structure and thus increased this reserve load capacity. This study, commissioned by the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, evaluates the structural feasibility of utilizing this reserve load capacity for implementation of a mass transit system on a special purpose deck to be built beneath the existing highway deck, within the existing structural envelope of the suspended structure.
