The Golden Gate Bridge officially opened with an unusual variation on the traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony by
San Francisco mayor Angelo Rossi. A silver chain was
cut with a torch.
San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, a stunning technological
and artistic achievement, opened to the public after five years
of construction.
On opening day—“Pedestrian Day”,some 200,000 bridge
walkers marveled at the 4,200-foot-long suspension bridge,
which spans the Golden Gate Strait at the entrance to San
Francisco Bay and connects San Francisco and Marin County.
The next day, on May 28, the Golden Gate Bridge opened to
vehicular traffic.
