Which suspension bridge in San Francisco is known for its orange color and spans the Golden Gate strait?

The Golden Gate Bridge is the San Francisco suspension bridge known for its orange color and its span across the Golden Gate strait. It connects San Francisco with Marin County and carries U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1.

The bridge opened to traffic in 1937 after more than four years of construction. Its main suspension span measures 4,200 feet, making it the world's longest suspension-bridge span at the time. Engineers Joseph Strauss, Charles Alton Ellis, and Leon Moisseiff played major roles in its design and construction.

Its signature paint is officially called International Orange. Consulting architect Irving Morrow supported the color because it complemented the surrounding landscape and made the bridge more visible to ships and motorists in San Francisco's frequent fog.

The Golden Gate is the narrow entrance connecting San Francisco Bay with the Pacific Ocean. The bridge is often confused with San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, which crosses the bay farther east and is not the bridge depicted in the familiar orange landmark photographs.
