    Caption: "Golden Gate Bridge Construction, July 1, 1936." View of the Golden Gate Bridge while under construction. The towers and suspension cables have been built, but the work on the bridge deck has not started. Completed in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge spans the mouth of San Francisco Bay (called the Golden Gate), connecting San Francisco with Marin County to the north. It is one of the most recognizable bridges in the world, and was named in 1994 as one of the Modern Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
