Golden Gate

Following a recent surf under the Golden Gate Bridge, I thought it was time to learn a fact or two:
8,980 feet in length
4,199 feet – the length of the longest span
Orange Vermillion is the paint color
220 feet of clearance under the span
11 men died building it
Weight – 887,000 tons
1,874,100,431 – vehicles that have crossed as of Nov 2009
