The iconic Golden Gate Bridge is gearing up for its 75th anniversary.
It was completed on May 27th, 1937 and was the longest suspension bridge in existence when it opened.
The bridge was an enormous undertaking at the time, taking five years and eleven lives.
According to MSNBC, a 3,500 square-foot bridge pavilion will be unveiled to public for the 75th anniversary celebration.
Joseph Strauss designed the bridge to connect San Francisco to the tip of Marin County.
The bright red color of the Golden Gate Bridge originally comes from the sealant used.
Here's an unbelievable statistic - nearly 2 billion cars have crossed the bridge so far.
Impressive on its own, the striking surroundings and weather of the area make the bridge mythic.
There are many viewpoints and activities around the bay from which locals and visitors experience the bridge.
Whether looking out towards the Joseph Strauss memorial, the Marin Headlands, into the city, or out to sea, the bridge is at its most beautiful as the sun descends.
As the sun goes down on the City by the Bay, the suspension wires of the bridge glow like filaments of fire.
