The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge. It spans the Golden Gate, a one-mile-wide strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The bridge links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California, to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. It also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and is designated as part of U.S. Bicycle Route 95. The bridge is a hybrid bridge with a suspension span supported at each end by cantilever trusses.
