THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE AN AMERICAN ICON

 San Francisco's famous orange bridge is 80 years old this year. But the engineers and workers who built it had a difficult job.

An original colour:
the bridge's official colur, “international orange”, has made it one of the most famous bridges in the world! But at first, people were not convinced.
Some people thought it was “ridiculous” while others suggested painting the bridge yellow with black stripes* so that boats would see it from far away. The orange chosen is the result of a complicated chemical mixture*.
