The Golden Gate Bridge, which spans the San Francisco
Bay and connects the city to its northern suburbs, is one
of the world’s most famous structures. Its construction
78 years ago over a deep, treacherous channel was a
marvel of modern engineering.

In this photo, pedestrians walk across the bridge on May
27, 1937 — one day before it opened to vehicular traffic.
