I recently visited San Fran so I can answer your question :D

Yes, there is a walkway where pedestrians and bicycles are allowed. It's really awesome, and a little scary. The view is simply astounding, but the constant flow of traffic creates quite a but of noise and movement. But it's truly a fantastic place to visit. Hope that helped :)

No one is known to have committed suicide on the bridge, but the San Francisco Chronicle reports that more than 1,250 have killed themselves by jumping off of it. The exact number is not known, because there are some bodies found that might have jumped off the bridge, but it isn't known for sure. And there are certainly people who jumped off and no one observed it and the body was never recovered.

1,200 People have leaped to their deaths off of the golden gate bridge since it opened 71 years ago around 1937.

It didn't take skill to build the Golden Gate Bridge its all about stability and really the blue prints to make sure everything was stable to drive on and walk on and make sure it was stable to the public just engineering experience.

no

The bridge crosses the Golden Gate Strait and that is where its name comes from--John Fremont named the strait. The builders were originally going to paint it gray or black, but the architect decided that the International Orange paint color blended better with the surroundings.

In days the Golden Gate Bridge took 1643.5 days to build.

It doesn't close.

It is 2,440 miles as the crow flies or 2,822 miles on roads and will take you about 42 hours to drive (without stopping).

The Millau Viaduct in France was mainly constructed by Compagnie Eiffage du Viaduc de Millau (CEVM).

The Golden Gate connects San Francisco with all the cities in Marin County, Marin, Sausalito, Almonte and many others.

The answer to this would more than likely be yes, as San Francisco is on a fault line, which means that they get earthquakes very often - varying in size.

This in mind, the chances of us not knowing of a major earthquake is minimal so there's also a good chance it wouldn't be an earthquake of any large magnitude.

The Golden Gate Bridge did not fall or fail in any respect. However, the nearby Bay Bridge lost part of its upper deck during the Loma Prieta Earthquake on October 17, 1989. Since then, additional damage has occurred to the Bay Bridge during construction for the earthquake retrofit.

of course. it's still standing well in San Fransico.

Well, a strait is a narrow (relatively) body of water that separates two land masses. And the call it "The Golden Gate" as San Francisco was the main port of departure & return to Alaska during the gold rush in the late 1800's.

Parts of the bridge. Cables and stuff.

Both north and south towers have a small maintenance elevator in the east side that goes the entire length of the tower for access to the top platform (scary up there!) and the main suspension cables. Otis Elevator does regular upkeep on them. They are primitive and very small, not much bigger than a phone booth. It takes about 5 minutes to get to the top. They are the original units, too. There are also various ladders, platforms, and catwalks that take workers to all interior surfaces and levels of the towers and crossmembers.

The Golden Gate bridge got open to traffic on May 28, 1943.

The Golden Gate Bridge spans the Golden Gate, which is the water separating San Francisco from Marin County, connecting San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean.

it is maintained because of the way its built. It is built to be strong and powerful.

It's 746 ft tall, 1.7 mi long and has 6 lanes. speed limit is 45 mph and toll is

$6.00.

The maximum weight allowed on the bridge is 3000 lbs/vhicle. In engineering, the engineers build in buffer ("play room") to everything. Meaning if the real limit was 3000, they would rate it at 15000 lb. (or some safe number). Put it another way, if the weight limit was 3000 lb, you can be sure that the actual TESTED or theoretical limit would be MUCH higher.

The same is true of everything in engineering, Civil engineering, Architectural science, mechanical science.
