The Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic structure connecting the city of San Francisco to Marin County, California. It spans almost two miles across the Golden Gate, the narrow strait where San Francisco Bay opens to meet the Pacific Ocean. The dream of connecting San Francisco to its northern neighbors became a reality when construction commenced in 1933. The Golden Gate Bridge opened to the public in 1937, has endured as a picture-perfect landmark and an engineering marvel.The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most frequently used locations to commit suicide, with more than 1,600 known suicides; the number is believed to be higher because of people whose bodies were never found.
